Huh? You can get a two-port 10Gb card from Sun (without bugging your sales rep for discounts) for $1200. Even with our super-duper EDU discount with Dell, we are still paying >$400 for quad port 1Gb cards. So for $1200 you can get: 2x10Gb = 20Gb or: 3x4Gb = 12Gb So it's not very true that 10Gb cards cost more than quad port cards. Switch blades on the other hand................
