I just saw new video Patrick put up on youtube about G242-P32 Gigabyte server. One thing i noticed, it is still using i350 chipset for LAN. LAN: 2 x 1GbE LAN ports (1 x Intel® I350-AM2) Management: 1 x 10/100/1000 Mbps management LAN So i guess i350 is still pretty much alive in end of...

Yea that's true. I've never seen PCIe x2 slot. In official documentation x1 x2 and x4 slots are mentioned: I found a x2 slot: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/ProArt/ProArt-X670E-CREATOR-WIFI/techspec/ 1 x PCIe 4.0 x16 slot (supports x2 mode) It's physical 16 slot...

What i do not get is why are those cards PCIe x4 is it because of backward compatibility to PCIe 1.x or maybe lower latency to i350 controller ? PCIe x2 should be enough for 4x GbE ports. Let's say we have 4 port i350. This means 4Gbit up and 4Gbit down in total. PCIe 1.x (4 lanes): 8Gbit/s...

I have both, original with yotta mark and one that is fake. Both of them work perfectly fine i see no difference in performance. If you look here: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/codename/45342/products-formerly-powerville.html Chipsets are still being produced, T2 version...

I've been checking prices on 3com 3CRBSG5293 switch, 52 ports 10240 jumbo frames. Do you still think this is good enough for mid business today ? This switch can actually use all 52 ports as 4 SFP ports are not shared between RJ45's. Price for this switch is about 50€ for 52 ports. PDF...
