Any Dual or Quad Port intel server adapter would do the job well for you.
If 10 GBit/s will be a choice you should also go and have a look on the Chelsio adapters.

I find it ironic that the picture in your link shows the "MR MACOM" controllers that are known to be the fake knockoff brands. HAHAHA!! ;D

Actually, I misread that. Those pixels say, "WE MIDCOM."

thanks for the suggestions guys :)
we have soekris net 6501 which only has one expansion slot so have to go with quad port.
AOC-SGP-I4 is priced at abt 200$. are there any alternatives in a bit cheap price? if performance stays roughly the same
