Whatever you get, be sure it doesn't have a realtek network card on it. 
These are almost everywhere as they're so cheap. If you find a mainboard 
with an actual Intel NIC (desktop or server), then it's a good sign it's 
a board aimed at quality instead of lowest price, so it should work better.

The realtek cards are just horrible little NICs...
