Sorry if this is a silly question, but do any of the inexpensive 1000baseT NICs support PXE boot? I just finished looking through the offerings on newegg and while a couple of the really really cheap ones had an empty socket for a boot rom, none of the ones without such a socket said definitively in its specs that it could PXE boot (or for that matter, that it couldn't). The older machines are all 100baseT, be nice to give them a network speed boost by dropping in an inexpensive 1000baseT NIC, but not if the new cards won't be able to PXE boot.
