I agree, the current generation boards all seem to have decent GigE.
Nvidis runs it's own NForce. Broadcom and Marvell seem popular too.
Intel mobos run Intel (strangely enough) as do Supermicro. I think Tyan
uses Intel for some and 3Com for others.
My only word of caution is if you go bargain bin
Of course it depends on what you want to do, but you can often get
more out of GigE than you think. Most of the drivers have some
tunable aspects that can help in certain cases.
