Hello, Although personally not used yet :) A friend pushed 30Mbit through a PII 400 running gated without breaking a sweat ( (5 cards, total 20 ports, 10 ports connected and moving data). he has reccomended them to me for a while now and once I get some more time, I am going to get a couple and test. hope this helps.
