Nothing wrong with announcing /24's. I'd like to know of a single provider who does block /24's. Maybe back in the day of 128mb core routers, but not now. It would lead to many inconsistency problems/complaints from customers and then you'd have to waste a network administrator's time trying...
I'd opt for the Seagate 7200.8 300GB drive instead of the Maxtor. It costs a little bit more, but has an 8ms seek time instead of the Maxtor's high 9.3ms, plus it has a 5 year warranty.

Also, I'd save some money and buy this ram instead of the Corsair XMS. The timings are...
99% of video cards made in the past 2 years have been dual head.
You could run a quad head non SLI setup with 2 regular PCI-E video card(6600's for cheap) and the DFI Lanparty UT NF4 Ultra-D. You'd even have a spare PCI-E 4x slot leftover for another card. Granted it wouldn't be 16x, but...
According to Intel you were giving the CPU .3 to .45 more volts than it's supposed to get. I'm suprised it ran at all, 3 weeks is superb for 33% more juice than it's rated for.
cisco.com is full of good information about your version of CatOS. 'set vlan # state active' and 'set vlan 4 module#/port#' will help you get started though.
OpenBSD 3.3 with pf has basic load balancing techniques available, as well as a lot of other good stuff. You'll only see a speed improvement in http transfers mostly, but that's all most people seem to care about anyway.
CSA is only available with Intel 82547EI chipset network controllers, every other brand/chipset is PCI based.
I think Intel doesn't do things like pci-x on consumer level boards is because it could cut into their server based chipset board sales.
Intel 10/100 NIC's have been supported just fine under freebsd for years using the fxp driver. The 10/100/1000 intels use the em driver without problems as well.
If people aren't allowed to bring their own notebooks in and don't have administrator rights to the machines, installing something like NetLimiter or Bandwidth Controller on the PC's might get the job done.
Best way to get to the bottom of this is mail your network dept. with logs about the packet loss. They should get a competent person on the job and see if anything can be done.
