    I'm using Intel cards (fxp) at the moment. But from reading the posts
    I've decided to buy GBIT NIC.
    Now the dilema is what brand name.. INTEL or 3COM ? maybe you guys
    could advice?

    And yes, my PC is dealing with lots of network traffic.. It's a
    gateway + shaping. It deals with almost 1000 users..

    Will this PC (p4 2.4GHZ) deal with 10mbit internet? as a gateway +
    shaper ? with one GBIT NIC connected to 100Mbit swith?

    Thanks once more for your time guys, and thanks for your support
