StarTech.com 2 Port PCIE 10/100/1000 Network AdapterStrengths: Great for server hardware and OS consolidation. Weakness: None so far. This dual-port gigabit adapter really helped with our server consolidation. Using a 'desktop' class PC and 2 of these adapters, I was able to not only drop the number of physical machines from 3 to 1, I was also able to get rid of the headaches of maintaining the OS on multiple boxes. And now they have a 4-port version! If the 4-port version works as well as the 2-port, I can get back one of my PCIe slots. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? TopAdvertisement

Great Interface
Strengths: Easy to install and configure.
Weakness: Current (12/2010) price is 50% higher than original purchase 18 months ago (07/2009).
I'm running 2 of these in a Win2K Advanced Server machine for 18 months now, with each port hosting 6-8 discrete IPs. I'm building a new machine, and was looking to acquire a couple for the new build
