[linux] Multi-port NICs?

[Garrett Cooper]

    Heh. Take a look at a lot of AMD64 mobos. Supposedly a lot of them are
rigged to the gills with dual Gigabit support. Then all you have to do is
buy another one then, you have three :).
    Why would you need 3 gigabit NICs though (if you don't mind me
asking...)?!?!
