To: X-Mailer: Mozilla/3.0 (compatible; StarOffice/5.1; Win32) X-Priority: 3 (Normal) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi all, currently I ask myself what is the difference between the "Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop Adapter" and the "Intel PRO/1000 T Desktop Adapter". The first (MT) is built with a 82540OEM Chip and the second (T) with a 82544GC Chip. Is there something "very special" with the chips? Is one of both better (faster and/or more stable and/or less CPU-eating) than the other? I plan to use Linux 2.4.18 (if no other chance a newer one) with these NIC's.... Thank you in advance, Michael
