10 gigabit ethernet - Add on question

[Andre Schaapherder]

Are you really looking for 10 Gb or are you looking for "more than 1 Gb"?
Two to three GB is easily achieved by teaming more Gb nics. Downside is that
you can't go above 1 Gb in a single stream/connection. I recently asked
quotes for the 10 Gb cards (be advised that you need special wiring, at
least with the 1950/2950 range) and for the quoted price I could fill up all
slots with dual port Gb nics, easily.
