I'm looking at an embedded board computer which can either have 3xRealtek 8100B's or 3xIntel 82559's. The Realtek version is £170 and the Intel version says to contact them for a price, I think it's going to be in the £200 mark somewhere, as I have seen a board similar somewhere else with 3xIntels (maybe 2) and it was £212 ish.. so, if the 8100B's are improved, I'll look into getting that and saving me some money. -- Internet Explorer?
