I always wait a while so I can just binge an entire distro at once.

I'm currently about halfway through Xandros. (No spoilers please!)

Lots if you can spare enough lanes. One of the labs at work as a local all-flash array with 10gb to the desktops and it's just stupid.

10 GbE is only 1 lane of PCI-E 3.0

although it looks like a lot of cards are using 4 lanes of PCI-E 2 or 2 lanes of PCI-E 3, I guess for overheads and bidirectionality.

SSDs are double amazing because you pick up an order of magnitude perf bonus when you first got one, and basically another one on top with the latest PCIe stuff.

Yeah their cards are 2x I think, but they also have beefy gpus which is why I mentioned the lanes.
