RE: gigabit nic?

Thanks everyone for the tips. By the way, what is the best method for me to
tell if my Snort sensor is currently dropping packets?

Thanks again

I am running Snort on an Apple Xserve and It has dual GigE NICs and has 
1 1GHz G4 processors and processor load is minimal and it does not drop 
packets..., Oh and i am only using one of the GigE cards for snort

The Xserves are really fast but maybe this info will help you...
