I am using the above that card with no problem in two of my linux 
servers here.   I do not see or have a problem wiith the  load, 
granted that I have only 30 or so workstation/ printers on my 
network. I could not afford to put in the higher priced ones at the 
time that I needed the GBit speeds. All but 5 of my works stations 
are running at 100 speed on the network at the moment tooo. Mostly 
wanted the GBit speed for the backbone an from my workstation to 
servers to speed up file transfers , backup times ect.
But I have not notice any problems with using them.
