I just bought this card yesterday. If you have any networking problems in your hyper-v server with the internal cards this card will solve them. Once I swapped it in all my problems went away.

Very nice deal. The link is good. Most links dropped into the forums get converted to HSS links unless you get them from other deal sites. Then they will have their code attached to them. Either way, a deal is a deal. I enjoy you guys posting them.

Thats pretty cool that they get converted! I am glad you are getting credit! I thought I heard someone in a thread or on the podcast mention needed an Intel nic (and they just plain rock) so I figured someone would appreciate it.

Are you expecting a resurrection, perhaps a miracle?

If at first you don't succeed, do it like your mother told you.

Good luck on your install. I'd be interested in how easy it goes with another card (your USB 3.0 Card) already in there.

I have a new gaming build coming up and was thinking about that too Jim. Would anyone be interested in these types of hangouts?

I installed the Joe Miner dual NIC yesterday and really, the hardest part was getting the card slot fillers out of there. The new Microserver (#2) is going to become a pfSense box if I can round up enough patience.

I'm interested but my plate is pretty full for this weekend -- but in general I find them pretty interesting and I always seem to learn new things!

Now you're making me feel like I'm getting a reputation

That card has really been trouble free --- AND it's fast. I suspect the single Intel NIC (above) is going to be just as good -- I wonder if one could use 2 of the single Intel NIC cards and get the same performance as the 1 dual NIC?

Let us know how the pfSense build goes with the MicroServer -- that should be pretty interesting!
