I know adaptec has bought cogent and has a four port card that will do 10/100 Adaptec ANA-6944A/TX and a ANA-6922A/TX. I know the cards are capable of full duplex 100Mb, and I will never be able to get a box to max out all 4 ports full duplex, but it doesn't have to. My questions: Can I use these cards? any comments? Any recommendations, horror stories, suggestions Thanks alot.
