    Hi Guys,

    I happen to have an older PIX firewall , and after opening it and having a squiz
    inside I notice it just uses PCI network cards, so what I was wondering is
    can I pop a Dual Intel Gigabit fibre card in here and will it work??

    It's not for any production environment more of a see if I can do it for the hell
    of it kind of thing

    we're installing fail over firewalls and this one is the wrong revision for matching
    against the other PIX we have ,

    anyway thanks in advance

    cheers
