And you feel that is still the case between most on-board offerings
and server centric add-on cards Theo? I wonder why they sell such
things (over and above basic add-on NICs where people want to
replace a faulty on-board or add another port etc).

Because most don't need the very high thruput
NICs so they aren't there on all motherboards.

They are on server motherboards.
