Yes,
I can confirm this - I recently install a DA500 network card in an AlphaServer 300 and I
had to explicitly set fastfd mode on the network card device at the SRM console to get it
to work at full speed once booted into VMS.
Mark.

I thought they support 100 mbps as well? How do I turn that on? It's currently
connected to a Gbps switch.
