Hi,

pay attention on your PCI bus bandwidth...PCI bandwidth is shared between
all devices on the system bus...and specially for a RAC interconnect,
inappropriate PCI bus can be easily saturated by a Gigabit Eth. connection.

Subject: Gigabit-card for Linux/x86

Folks,
I am setting up a 10GR2 RAC on two x86 servers running RHL 4. I am
thinking of purchasing two gigabit cards to setup a private gigabit
network. One think that I want to make sure is that the Linux drivers
are available for that card so that I do not waste my time to configure
it. Has anyone recently purchased any Gigabit card - at reasonable price
- and configured with RHL that they would like to recommend? Any
feedback will be appreciated.

Thanks
Amir
