Would you prefer if I had stated? "I have the same board in a crappy server running 4.11 (FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE #0) and no problems to report." Please notice I never said what the box was doing nor did I ask for your opinion of what MB/NIC I use in my systems. This SERVER is purpose built and runs stable 24/7 as a low volume outbound mail server so the performance of the NIC is not my primary concern. Please keep your useless comments to yourself as they do nothing but waste disk space, CPU time and the valuable time of people who attempt to help others on this list. Scott
