Given old hardware, cables and with spare time, thought Id see if these old 10gb cards still work on windows 10 and YES THEY DO!!!!! well I can only get the top port working, even though windows and tools state that there are 2 ports and they are seen, I get no link lite on the bottom port when I try...
the beauty is they work even in ESXI 6.7.... ESXI 6.7 will only use them as Ethernet so were golden!
anyway.. showing flashing firmware, setting to eth, few file copies, etc... something quick and easy....

Would I go run out to Ebay and get these cards? most likely not as I would go get Mellanox ConnectX-2 cards instead or newer as these cards are still not dirt cheap but same prices as x2... but if you can find them dirt cheap, they work... I will be using my ESXI box as a switch putting a few cards in it and each box I want to connect to it to that box.
