Subject: Intel Gigabit - confused!?!

Hi all,

currently I ask myself what is the difference between the "Intel
PRO/1000 MT Desktop Adapter" and the "Intel PRO/1000 T Desktop
Adapter". The first (MT) is built with a 82540OEM Chip and the second
(T) with a 82544GC Chip.

Is there something "very special" with the chips? Is one of both
better (faster and/or more stable and/or less CPU-eating) than the
other? I plan to use Linux 2.4.18 (if no other chance a newer one)
with these NIC's....


Thank you in advance,
Michael
