RE: Looking for the cause of poor I/O performance

Gigabit!  Lucky :)

I want a Gigabit switch for Christmas!  And a few PCI cards too!

Of course, with Gigabit, I would want/need a better Linux system too!  With
PCI-express and ...  I better wake up and go to bed!  :)

Bwahahaha!

I'm cheap. I use a crossover so I didn't have to spring for the switch. The 
NICs are Intel 82540EM's. I got them for around $55 per. I didn't think that 
was too bad for gigabit. Of course, these controllers may be complete trash, 
I dunno.
