Can someone please clarify something for me... I was just about to fill 
out a PO for our upcoming 16 node cluster when I stumbled upon this info 
concerning the 10/100 NIC card (read: that's the card I plan on using :( ):
http://oscar.sourceforge.net/notes.php
What exactly does that mean... should I stay away from this NIC... and 
what NIC do you guys recommend?! Performance is the key as we're blowing 
a fair amount of money and a Cisco Catalist 3500 Switch....
Thanks for any help...
Mike
