Fyo, Re: "In other words, would one place the TOE with the ethernet controller or the NIC?" No, I don't think that's necessary. Then again, I don't have first hand knowledge of the technology. I do, however, work with people who are researching it, and they believe it will be a good technology to look out for. Re: "It seems to me that the TOE would only really make a difference when the processor is experiencing serious loads (and TCP/IP trafic is high). In what scenarios do you see this happening?" Not on the home PC, if that's what you are alluding to. It's more of an application specific technology. IBM has the right idea in putting it in one of their embedded chips. It would also go well in servers as a third party chip, or even something that's integrated in the chipset. wbmw
