I think most of the PC motherboards I've seen with dual NICs on-board have been expensive boards aimed at the high-end workstation and low-end server market. When they go on sale (every other week) you can pick up a cheap PCI card for $5-10, so that might very well be more economical. Most of these cheap cards are based on Realtek chips (so are most of the cheap on-board NICs), they're not exactly the best cards around but they do work. -- Michael Heironimus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
