Re: Will a GIGABIT ethernet card help me
Realteks can be a bit of an oddity - often excellent, though some things don't like them.

My old Intel 82558 was a dream, and the extra software for it to count/drop packets gave extra ways of dealing with storms - I had it eating the Welchia ping storm to avoid it filling the firewall log with garbage.

New machine has a VIA chip.

In many cases, the onboard is almost the same as the PCI.
