Precision and 10GbE Support

I would like to know if any of the current desktop or rack Precision workstations will work with a standard PCIe 10GbE NIC. It will be either an Intel or Broadcom 10GbE Cu NIC. I cannot find anything that explicitly states that it will work. OS will be Windows 7. Thanks

    I would say yes if its PCIE but I would recommend getting it from Dell.
