Hello,
Got the LAN CARD - Chinese of course! at 2300Sh , i had to bargain of course.
Chip is VIA - VT6130 and has the following support
VT6130 64 QFN 9*9 Network Interface card, LAN on motherboard Gigabit-NIC, PCI-Express v1.1
Going the extra mile to see if i got the right thing.
Benefits of VIA Velocity VT6130
Highly Integrated Solution
The VIA Velocity™ chip series are 10/100/1000 single chip solutions that include checksum offloading, jumbo frame support, a deep on-chip Tx/Rx packet buffer, and a full suite of management features, including compliance with IEEE 802.3ab, 802.3x, 802.1p, 802.1Q standards.
Low Power
The VIA VT6130 fully incorporates advanced power management schemes, such as PCI Power Management v1.1 and ACPI v2.0. This enables energy-efficient operation and lowers power consumption. The controllers can support multiple wake-up events through the detection of Magic packets, Interesting Pattern Match packets or Link Status changes. Two special events not defined in Wake-on-LAN standard, the AC Power Loss and PCI Abnormal Shut-Down Wake-Up, are also supported by detecting Magic packets. The controllers also support legacy Wake-on-LAN cases.
To further reduce system complexity and cost, on-chip regulator circuits permit a single 3.3V power supply to produce both 2.1V and 1.2V core power, selectable by the user.
GigaCheck™ Software Interface
The VIA Velocity™ chip series are provided with a full software suite that enables comprehensive cable diagnostics, operating analysis, and status information. The software also can provide information regarding connection speed, cable analysis, and VLAN management - all in an easy to use attractive interface.

@Alvin,
The 2k ones are Express Card - PCI-E 1x. I can attest to that.
I said I have (I am) using them:)

Compare the brand names though I believe the 2k one is not an Express card :-)

bytech - 7k + vat
Revlon plaza - 2.5k
Same product???
Very possible, but tell us what the brand name is that they have at Bytech.
I have used several of the ones from Revlon Plaza (on Unix boxes) and they have worked well.
