Have you had much (any?) experience with Netgear NICs? I've had good success with their hubs and switches for small applications, and with their NICs, but I don't know if they arbitrarily change chipsets like so may other of the discount NIC companies do. I'm guessing not, since it's run by a well-known company in the networking world (Bay), but I don't really know for sure. If I had more info in this aspect about their NICs, I would feel very comfortable recommending all of their products to just about anyone.
