I just don't think you're seeing the big picture.  How are you going to 
service a large companies /home file server with a 20gig drive?  20gigs 
gets used up pretty quickly.

A really good idea to keep in mind is that "What works for me doesn't 
necessarily work for everybody else." and "What I need isn't necessarily 
what everybody else needs.".  Try to keep the big picture in mind.

There are things that the Intel cards can do that most the others cant, 
channel bonding, vlan stuff, thats what gives it a higher price.  gigE is 
also very important for a lot of situations.  If our installation network 
wasn't gigE, network installs would take FAR too long.  The fact that it 
_is_ gigE, and the majority of the systems we install have gigE 
capabilities, a lot of time is saved, and time == $$.
