I've heard that now multiple times, but a # sh int cap says:

Switch-1#sh int cap mod 5 | i ASIC
   Ports on ASIC:         1-24
   Ports on ASIC:         1-24
[..]

So does that mean, that even 24 ports share 1x Gigabit? As I said: a 
fully utilized port 14 had a negative side-effect on more or less all 
ports on the blade but certainly on port #4. My understanding is, that 
this should not be the case if the ports 1-8, 9-16 and so on build a group.

What about 6148A-GE-TX or 6548-GE-TX? Will one of those modules help me 
to solve this issue or at least make it less worse?

Thanks!
