Hello,

I'm quiet disappointed with the em nics and wanted to try some other=20
GigaBit NICs (1000baseTX only).
AFAIK there are re, sk, bge driven cards. Which doesn't saturate a PIII@800=
=20
at 200mbit/s with interrupt load (like em does)?
I heard that the re is way better than the not so well rl and although much=
=20
cheaper than em more efficient.
What about bge? Or sk? Any comments welcome, also if I missed a supported=20
family (TX only)

Thanks,

=2DHarry
