Good gigabit NIC for 4.11?

Well, most desktop boards with a gigabit card don't have very good
performance; I wasn't able to get any decent performance out of a sk(4)
on an ASUS P4P800-E Deluxe motherboard anyway (Even an em(4) in a 32bit
PCI slot did much better). I've had very decent results with 64bit PCI-X,
however, which sk(4)'s, ti(4)'s and em(4)'s.

For 4.x, I've only used em(4)'s (Intels) and these worked very well for
me. I'd highly recommend them, and never had any problems with them.
They work fine for 6.x too, should you ever consider a reinstall.
