The NIC for the board on the link you provided and
http://global.giga-byte.com/MotherBoard/Products/Products_Spec_GA-8I865P-G.htm
is Marvell, not Intel. I checked around for NIC compatibility before
buying my last motherboard. Everyone said for OS/2 users to stay away
from Marvell, while Intel, Realtek & Broadcom are recommended.

The onboard NIC on this works fine. I never tried the onboard audio.

BTW, I'm now doing an eCS 1.1 burnin on this using the onboard NIC and a
Matrox G400:

which I bought instead of what my nephew bought and I almost bought:

I'll probably stick my backup disk in his one of these days to see if it
works OK.
