We have O(1000) of both broadcom and intel (various models) and we've had very few problems over the years with those. I wouldn't hesitate to buy either but given a choice I'd go for intel (since I do think the few hickups we've had, more often than not, struck the broadcoms). For completeness (since many previous posts have touched on this), we don't use jumbo frames since we have no problem reaching wirespeed with normal 1500 frames. /Peter -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
