So in bed with an awful hangover, I decided that retail therapy was the answer and have bought 2x DELL JM42W Dual Port 10 GBe (copper) NICs that I believe are basically intel X520-T2.
Can anyone tell me if I can simply use the std Intel Drivers for these or if they are Dell specific (like the way OEM's rebadge LSI controllers for example).
I had thought that all the X520's were fibre and all X540's were copper and that was the difference between them, but this defo seems to be an RJ45 copper NIC.
I have also bought a single port x540 for a workstation and bought a new Netgear XS708Ev2 to plug them in to.
2x £100 for the x520
1x £80 for the x540
1x £505 for the XS708Ev2
2x Alca Seltzer
1x that sinking feeling when you spend a load of money you shouldnt, right after a month of spending a load of money that you shouldn't.................
