Damn. Some of those features sound awesome! I can't wait to get my hands on one of those. Too bad I already have dual Gigabit ports. I guess I will have to deal with one more

That's what I'm talking about!

But seriously, the ability to do low-level firewalling and routing/filtering is a fantastic use of this technology... if they perfect this, I could easily see this catching on in the high-end server markets for security and performance reasons.

And the heatsink does look wicked!

just think about folding two machines in one, and or running two of these, oreven a PCI-e 4x or 8x card, the possibilities, sad to say that pricetage has its drawbacks

but just think running a game server dedicated on a NIC, and then even for LAN paries dedicating a game server andusing the PC all in one, and for big lan parties running a nice server with a few of them running all theservers and matchups its just soo great just very costly
