I don't speak from onboard cards! I speak from PCI-E cards you
can plug into the PCI-E slot. E.g. in Ingram Micros online shop
there are only Intel PCI-E-Cards listed. I know there are good
PCI-E NIC's from Sysconnect, but I can only buy them from special 
dealers. Compared to PCI-NIC's - I realy don't have a big choice of 
PCI-E NIC's.
