August 25, 201114 yr ...some boards appear to be fitted with the DL-model of the realtec chip...saw same reports here, that they are doing better....sometimes Although it might be the obvious thing...how about retro-fitting an intel NIC into one of the slower slots? If AM3 is your top requirement, this in the end might be your only option if the onboard NIC fails to work.
August 25, 201114 yr Author am3 not top of list but would like AMD cpu, so if i find a mobo with a realtek d or l chip i should be ok
August 25, 201114 yr I just ended up adding an intel nic in one of the PCI slots. The Nic was only about $15 off ebay from china or some sort. Otherwise as you say it is pretty difficult. Josh
