Gigabyte doesn't make nForce.

I'm keen on the MSI but I'm unsure of the NIC support. Unlike Asus which =

the clunky RTL8139 chipset, the MSI sticks with Nvidia original design, t=

is using the ones integrated into the MCP. I couldn't find any listing of=
 it=20
in the Hardware section so I'm assuming that it's unsupported.

I'm not keen on an add on NIC, if the NIC was integrated, might as well t=
ake=20
advantage of it.
