Most cards using one of the referenced chipsets should work. Note 2: "work" in the context of realtek chipsets means that they will work fine for personal usage levels. Don't expect realtek NICs to be able to drive your webserver continually pumping out several megabits per second. Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
