Yeah, I was shocked at first too. The PCIe controllers can likely do even better than that, but my only PCIe test system had other hardware related instabilities, so I didn't do much testing with it. > Any specific testing in mind or just stability? > I'm a bit worried that old controllers (especially ones that predate the move to i960 CPUs) might be broken with this. But yeah, stability testing is always welcome. It got beat up for about 2 weeks straight, so I'm pretty confident that it's solid. Scott
