    very good 4pin cpu motherboard

    For £70 you get a 2.5Gb/s ethernet controller, full cpu support (xxG versions too) even if its 4-pin connector limits the use of the most powerful AMD (105w max). However, the bundle is non-existent, which means you have to download the drivers by hand from the manufacturer's English site (the card doesn't exist on the French site).
