Review on Realtek Chipset Ethernet Interface Software by Ryan Olsen

Well it's only been 2 days but I bought 2 of these (at the price why the hell shouldn't I have bought 4) The main reason was that I'm hooking up the gigabit interfaces wanted my Linux file server (NFs/NAS) mainly for my VMware lab. What can I say, works great, can't match the price. My onboard controller had the same chipset, so I wanted the same chipset for the cards I added.
