[geeks] Opinion: RTL8169 vs. Intel PCI e1000?

[Bill Bradford]

The new ohno.mrbill.net has (and is using) a Realtek 8169-chipset onboard
gigabit network interface.

Should I look into finding a PCI Intel e1000 card to use instead, and
disable the onboard?  The box isn't bandwidth or CPU-constrained at all,
but I want to run the very best system that I can, while I'm in a period
when the occasional reboot is allowed for tweaking. 8-)

Thoughts?
