Intel NICs

[minimoose]

I need a gigabit NIC.  I heard Intel are the best, what is the cheapest one you can recommend (link)?  Also two ethernet ports would be good, not necessary though.

Uh, the cheapest one from Intel that has two ethernet ports?

Unless you have a switch or router (unlikely without third party firmware) that can do link aggregation you won't be able to use more than one port also your motherboard already has a Gigabit NIC so unless it's broken they're nothing to gain here but here's the cheapest one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106015

Can't recommend any two-port NICs because a single port gigabit NIC costs like $40 and a dual port happens to cost $150+

Are you sure you can't live with the realtek adapter on the board? I mean, realtek isn't the best but I've had no issues either.

But, I mean are they all good?  Also I can't find a full list of them like on Intel's page.

GOOD POINT, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT!  OK, nm I don't need a NIC.
