Are you saying ISA adapters get the same throughput as PCI? My Intel ISA
adapters get about 900kps, whereas the PCI get about 1200. On one of the LANs 
I support, the stations with the highest peak throughput and frames/sec are 
consistently the 486 PCI machines. There are a few newer and faster P75 
machines with ISA cards, and they are considerably lower.
