broadcom NIC

[Evan]

Hi all,

my freenas server is using the following motherboard:

The nic card is a broadcom. Are these known to be good NICS? I'm just asking as I read in a thread that the realteks are garbage compared to intel.

Thanks.

I would be more concerned with the NVIDIA chipset than the Broadcom NIC...
