cheap gigabit ethernet

[Marty Connor <mdc@thinguin.org>]

Here's a link to a press release from National Semiconductor describing 
their new 10/100/1000 ethernet controller chip.

  http://www.national.com/news/item/0,1735,467,00.html

They want US$95 for the chip.  This suggests that the price of gigabit 
ethernet should be falling in the next year.

I can't wait to use Etherboot on a 1000BASE-T card :-)  I wonder which 
manufacturer will have the first 100-200$US gigabit card out?  Let's hope 
it has a boot rom socket :-)

Just some thoughts on a cold Boston saturday.

Hello, World! :-)

Regards,

Marty
