I ran it at top speed for 4+ hours today with no problems.  I was
actively cooling the cards with an extra p-IV cpu fan sitting
precariously on top of the cards.

So, my problems were definately heat related.  I have yet to try
to see if the same things makes the tg3 nics behave better, as
they ran even hotter than the e1000s.

Thanks,
Ben
