Anyone that thinks that they compare directly is delusional, as I was.Can't exactly run down to the local Wal*Mart or Fry's and pick up a spare Cisco power supply, ram, or 100mb ethernet card though... Never quite understand how Cisco can charge $1800 for a $1.25 10/100 PCI ethernet controller, either...
Don't be silly, a good 10/100 PCI ethernet controller costs $10 retail, or about $3 in parts... (I have to admit to being a fan of the netgear FA31x as well, it has never done me wrong and for the price if it ever does it goes to the parking lot for Bryan Blank to run over). -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras () e-gerbil net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras PGP Key ID: 0x138EA177 (67 29 D7 BC E8 18 3E DA B2 46 B3 D8 14 36 FE B6)
