- the card you're linking to is the EXPI9300.....I'm wondering why you
didn't go with the EXPI9400?  While the price is almost double, the
9400 seems to support 'increased performance on multi-processor systems by
efficiently balancing network loads across CPU cores when used with
Scalable I/O on Linux'.

Seems like if you're really trying to
'push the max' performance, you have multi-core CPU's on the server, and
you've got the extra cash.....why would you NOT go with this one?
