rmined by the type (make/model) of motherboard you are speaking of. How t=
hey have IRQs allocated (which is something you may be able to adjust), wh=
ere it is attached to the bus etc=85 Also, what comes with the main boar=
d is what you get. You can purchase option NICs with extra processors (T=
OE for example) which offload your main CPU.
