I'd just like to say that as a longtime SUN user (Sun 2 workstations
through current models have built in SCSI, video(sometimes) and ethernet on
the motherboard), I've only encountered one system that had a defective 
onboard device. The ethernet on my SS1 died last year. That machine was 
purchased new in 1990 for 16K. It had *long* outlived its usefulness
when the ethernet died.

My experience is that onboard ethernet & scsi are just as reliable as 
add-on cards.

As ethernet becomes ubiquitous in the pc world, most motherboards will
incorporate it.

Joe
