On a slightly similar note, the 7201 FAQ suggests the 4th 
Gig-E port directly hangs off the PCI-X bus and can reach 
wire speed for all packet sizes... 

This would be interesting (if actually possible), but wonder 
how much of this would be affected by (or would affect) the 
CPU.

We are planning to deploy some 7201's in the network, and 
would like to test this when we receive them. If anyone else 
has already had the pleasure, please share.

Mark.
