Anyone have any experience with the D-link 10/100 NIC on an overclocked PCI bus? I believe the part number in question is DFE-530TX+...currently at Circuit City for 10$ after rebates.

And while we are at it, any other cards out there that have been demonstrated to run on a hot PCI bus?

TIA.

I'm currently running one of those on an Abit BE6-II rev. 2 mobo pushed to 117Mhz FSB (PIII600e@702). OS is Red Hat 6.2 and case side is open (mobo temp about 31C). Been running like this for about a week. I plan to overclock higher when the AS comes in, but I haven't seen any issues with that NIC as yet. The divisor is still at 1/3, so it's currently running at 39Mhz.

The good thing about this mobo is that it does offer a 1/4 divisor for PCI, so I could push to 133Mhz FSB and be able to run the PCI @33Mhz.
