jim, I know compaq's NIC sales...they didn't make allot of money on that.
in fact on a pareto NIC's is way down there...
in fact most people don't even buy cpq NIC's...
gotcha...you didn't know that...
by the way...
I worked a few hundred yards from cpq's networking plant....or what use to be their networking plant....
let me tell you... since the Vice presidents of that plant werelunch buds of mine.... cpq ain't making bacon out of NIC's or their switches.

Go find out what a proliant 4000,5000,6000,7000 cost loaded and it will answer the question...do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
quit winging it.
