Either way, stability is much more > important than performance. em for PCI32x33MHz works good up to 250Mbit/s, not more em for PCI64x66MHz works up to about 500Mbit/s without polling and drops packets at about 250Mbit/s. bge integrated in Tyan's dual opteron mobo works good up to 500Mbit/s and may be more (CPU not 100% busy)
