I don't think this is a apples to apples comparison of "good reliability"
since one of our servers has been only up for 24hrs and has:
eth0 Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:97:10:D8:5C
RX packets:5809182 errors:160 dropped:160 overruns:267
TX packets:6604886 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
Which is nearly double the the number of packets in 1/24 the amount of time
than what Nicholas is experiencing. We are running a 3c900 board and have
had problems with every 3c59x.c revision until .40 which seems to be okay
so far (knock on wood)...
