Hi, I'm looking for what Gig NICs I can install for my Sun servers,
E220s, E450 and SunFire 4800. However, I'm getting so much different
and contradicting info.

SunSolve mentions the good old Gigbit Ethernet (known ad the gem
card) but it is no longer being sold by Sun and available in UTP only
MMF. However, they are selling something called the GigaSwift using
the ce driver.

Any experiences out there ? What do people recommend ?
I'm looking for something robust as it will be used on the corporate
DB servers.

Thanks,
George
