I’m looking for a good recommendation on network cards for my MT pppoe server. This box has alot of users connected and is passing alot of traffic. I’m looking for something compatible with 2.9.x RouterOS.
I would really like a QUAD nic that way i don’t have to use ton of pci slots, plus this will allow for further expansion.
Any suggestions on a GOOD quality quad nic that has very high throughput and compatible with MT?

intel server nics - nothing beats em.

see this monster with buildin os and 333Mhz cpu 
I really do like those specs that KillerNIC has, but is it even supported by MT?
Matt
do as changeip said - use intel.
They’re the best.
i suggest Intel Server Board S3000AHLX (with PCI-X)
Intel gigabit quad port NIC PCI-X based
Intel Pentium 4 640 (3,2GHz 2Mb cache single core)
You should be able to passthrough few gigabits of traffic using this setup, in future all you need to improve performance will be change processor to some quadcore monster or other, but first wait for 3.0 stable…
Here’s another vote for the Intel Pro dual and quad port cards.
compaq netelligent
5% better then intel
with intel max speed is 93M
with compaq netelligent 97M
cpu usage is redused too
also single, dual, quad option
Intel / Compaq.
That is ALL …
I have a quad intel GB NIC PCI-X I don’t need any more… was only used for testing. I have others I do use…
