    We have a dozen IBM P655 servers, each with a 1 gigabit copper ethernet
    card. We want to have failover and redundant paths to the world, but the
    price for that card was over $1,200.00 each.

    Has anyone ever succeeded installing a 3rd party gigabit card in a similar
    system? Where did you get the drivers? Did IBM Hardware support have any
    problem with that?

    I have heard of 3rd party memory being used, but what about PCI ethernet
    cards?

    Thanks
