The installation of eCS 1.1 went pretty well, with a few minor bumps. The major disappointment is performance. I/O on the PCI bus consumes a dramatic number of interrupts. As an example, it is unable to pull more than 28mbs, single duplex, on a 100mps network card. At this point the interrupts hit 100%. I've tried multiple cards and this is the best I could get on the 2.26MHz P4 server. I consider this unacceptable for a server. Using the exact same card (and other cards) in my old 333MHz Dell Optiplex GXa server, full speed at full duplex was obtained without taxing the CPU or interrupts. Processor performance is mediocre as well. For most functions, my 1.4MHz AMD will match or beat it. The 400SC is well built for the money. It's reliable. It's dead silent (two years old now). It's disappointing.
