FWIW, I've just got a machine with this motherboard.  It seemed the
best option available to me at the time, and I haven't had any issues
with it.  Yes, the silly NIC (where do you find 2.5 Gb/s hubs?) is
irritating, but I need 2 NICs anyway, so putting in a second wasn't an
issue.  I also couldn't find any motherboard that fitted the other
requirements and didn't have this NIC.
