"Slow" GigE, switching to Intel card will solve?
Since I got a Dell PC2616 switch I can't run jumbo frame on my network. I iSCSI-ed all HDDs to another machine on a network (Both sides with 4xRAID0 running), but due to the slow and flawed NF4, I could only reach a peak speed of 70MBytes/sec with about 85~90% CPU usage by NF4 LoM on the slower machine.
I'm wondering if buying an Intel Pro/1000PT desktop card will help? No one do NIC review on the net, and I don't want to buy the card then to find out it won't improve my network performance / reduce CPU load.
Many thanks,
Arthur
