best Gigabit ethernet controller?

jerryk · 06-14-2008

Hi,

I am going to give up on trying to make that Marvell Yukon controller that is on my Asus P5E motherboard work reliably. I have replaced drivers, etc and is still fails to come up correctly about 1/2 the time.

So, does anyone have any suggestions for a Gigabit ethernet controller that will work reliably with Vista 64?

Intel Server NIC controllers work great. I am working on setting up Jumbo frame networking over 1 Gbps full duplex. I can move files up to 66 MB/s.

Intel Gigabit Ethernet controllers work great. Have one on my 975XBX2 motherboard.

the integrated NICs on my mobo (nVidia controller, eVGA 780i mobo) work fantastic. I don't know if they make standalone NICs, though.

3COM has always had a good reputation in my book with NICs. Intel has surged to the forefront in the last several years as well.
