You can get the Netgear GA620 for about $310, and the 3Com 3c985B for about $675. Both are rebagded Alteon Tigon 2 boards. The difference is that the Netgear has 512K SRAM and the 3Com has 1MB SRAM. The Alteon boards support checksum offloading (the code is in -current in fact) and jumbo frames. I've got 15-20 boards, and have been pretty happy with them.
