Mind you, I know you said no clusters, but we are using the SysK98xx
Cards on some machines right now. They work beautifully. Insmod the
driver, setup the config and you are running. No special stuff to
compile and they seem pretty quick. They use a standard RJ45 connector
and cable, you will just need to purchase a special HUB. We are using
an HP Procurve with the GigaBit Modules and it works like a dream. Hope
this helps out some.

NOTE: If you run these cards, they have a decent heat sink on them that
gets HOT... If heat is an issue with your systems, you may want to take
this into account.
