...under Linux, with that particular version of the drivers.
We use the Pro/1000T cards exclusively (when we need GigE) around here under Windows. W2K exhibits no such behaviour, and nicely tops out at 796kbps on a memory to memory copy between 2 Dell PE2500's using a 4K MTU.
The article (as of Monday) didn't have the scores for this card under any other OS, at least not that I saw.
Cool thing to do: Go to a hobby shop near you and check out a finished plane. Usually the staff there have a few (or more) models which they've built and use for display. You can see firsthand that it's not just the wood, but the covering and wing mounting hardware that all combine to make one seriously strong and light platform.
Now, keep in mind that I said "properly built" in the first post. If it's not glued properly, it'll suck:)
Actually, you might be surprised just how strong (and light) a properly designed and built balsa wood airframe can be. Covered with mylar (MonoKote or similar) these things are durable, stiff, yet flexible enough to take many poundings.
I have built and flown several model airplanes (powered and non-powered) in my life. Frankly, my piloting ability stinks, and I've witnessed first-hand how well these things can survive the earth rising up to smite them.
A storm would just vlow it around a lot, and probably eat up the fuel supply long before it broke anything.

Woops, that should be 796Mbps.
