Hi John, From the THG site ( same as quoted by Lawrence Farr ) - I cut and pasted the text blurb - | The A7V8X is true to Asus form: six PCI slots, three DIMM sockets and | an AC97 sound system are part of today's standard equipment. What is | unusual, though, is the Gigabit Ethernet controller from Broadcom | (BCM5702CKFB), ... ... | The epitome of networking: Broadcom network controller for 10, 100 or | even 1,000 MBit/s.=20 http://www.tomshardware.com/mainboard/02q4/021007/kt400-04.html the second link quoted by Dan Bowman shows an almost identical chip (also characterized as being GigE)=20 http://www.motherboards.org/articlesd/motherboard-reviews/1205_1.html On Fri, 2002-10-18 at 21:56, John Polstra wrote: In article <1034910104.790.15.camel@hcarp00g.ca.nortel.com>, Andrew Atrens <atrens@nortelnetworks.com> wrote: >=20 > My motherboard has a built-in NIC, a BCM5702.
