Hi Alexey.

Do you see any difference between virtio and the intel card?

I can use the drivers from the redhat site: 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Windows_Virtio_Drivers

It is going to be a bit before I actually try it out though.

At this point most of my clients are smaller and use  an all-in-one 
server so speed isn't really a big concern; especially if we can bridge 
the gap between outbound and inbound connections.  900Mbps is more than 
fast enough for the types of servers I deploy.

thanks,

Geoff
