Stability of network cards at 75MHz+

[dwight]

The Linksys cards OC well, but I have come to loathe them.
Having four different types of card under the same model number
is ridiculous. And cross-over cables aren't supported, believe it
or not.

I've also had good luck with many of the 3Com cards.

As far as hard drives go, you are absolutely correct about OC'ing.
