Has anyone played with VirtualBox much? I have it on my main Linux box<br>
at home and it seems to work fairly well. It can emulate 4 different<br>
network adapters:<br>
<br>
PCnet-FAST II (Am79C970A)<br>
PCnet-FAST III (Am79C973)<br>
Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM)<br>
Intel PRO/1000 T Server (82543GC)<br>
</blockquote><div><br>I run vbox constantly. I use the Pro/1000 MT Desktop, and it works great for me. It could just be the power of suggestion, but it seems faster when I'm sending a bunch of data between the host and guest. I welcome correction if anyone knows better.<br>
<br>NB: If you are following Matt's howto on setting up NAT, you will have to adjust the directions for the Pro/1000. Replace any occurrence of "pcnet" with "e1000". If you forget this, you'll get a cryptic message at startup about not being able to get the MAC value.<br>
