This card looks great from the specs but the price is higher than the
PC I was going to plug it into!  For the $2000 you'll have to spend on
this card you could get another complete node, which even if you have
to use the slow 100Megabit ethernet connection will probably give you
better performance (more nodes = faster).  It's too bad really, I would
like to build a system based on a switch such as the Parastation but 
for now it's out of my price range.
