The onboard stuff could be either. 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. Regards, Thomas.
