      Bidding has ended on this item.

      Is Ebay all out of Intel Pro 1000 NICs?

          Would you recommend the intel pro 1000 nic over the intel i350 gbe chipset?

            Nope.

            I like this one and I'm pretty sure it will work.

            I like the ones that have "Intel" on the box.

              If you look up the two port one it is not the i350 chipset.

                Yep - Intel NICs abound.  Just Google to see who is using which Intel NIC without issues and grab one.
                There are many that will work great and a very few to avoid.  Ones with issues will be apparent instantly soon as you google them.

                    PC will be fine I would think.  Its at least as good as my personal rig.

                      Thanks,

                      Ya i saw someone with similar setup is running at 20 percent. With only one model newer cpu. So I doubt that will make any difference.

                      May I ask what specif Network card you use. Saw a post from a while ago that said AOC-SG-I2 had some problems. Also it having a different chipset then what is online is worrying me.

                        I use Pro 1000 Nics.  I have 5 ports on the one at home.

                        WAN is a broadcom.  I would have pulled it but its always worked so freakin well so I left it.

                          Thanks for all your help,

                          Is this what you mean? Would it be better if I just bought any card with the i350.
                          Thanks for your help, new to pfsense.
