If you need a different motherboard check out the newer intel motherboards
you'll need one that supports PCI-X, then you can use the 4-port intel
ethernet card, or the two port ethernet card. These will be in the
entry-level intel server motherboards (and beyond entry level), which will
come with one or two built-in ethernet NICs on the motherboard.
You can just check them out at intel's website.
