Subject:   PCI Network Card

I have a compaq proliant 3000 with 128MB of memory. The kernel doesn't
detect the memory, and with only 16MB of mem the machine screams. when I
have the kernel set to 128MB of mem, the machine runs like a dog. When I
take out the 3COM 3c509 ethernet card out the machine screams again. I had
a SMC ethernet PCI card laying around, the machine doesn't detect it.

Question One: What is a good network PCI card that is fully supported with
2.2.5?
Question two: Shouldn't freebsd support and ISA card with large amounts of
memory (I have a proliant 800 with 32MB of mem, same ethernet card and it
screams, it is running 2.1.6 also).

I only need answers to questions 1
