Got a T110 running Win2K3 SP2 Standard x86, but not totally content with the on-board Broadcom gigabit Ethernet adapter. Tempted to upgrade to something Intel based, found one, but realized there might be some conflict caused by using it. I originally wanted to get the "INTEL PRO 1000 CT PCIe 1x" from Amazon for like $30 for the price, but found 2 reviews that specifically said that their T110 servers could not take the card because of some motherboard/boot error after installing the card. I'm guessing this might have something to do with multiple network boot agents on BIOS startup, but I'm not sure. I'm thinking of maybe just getting it, and making it a point to disable the onboard Ethernet before installing the cards to see how it goes. But there is some hesitation ...
Has anyone here upgraded from their onboard Ethernet to something more robust? Recommendations? Many Thanks in Advance!
