Hi, I am in the process of buying a new cheap pc for osx86. The gigabyte ga-g31m-es2l suits my needs. But I have a problem, I'm pretty sure i will receive the rev 2 version and I heard that rev 2 has an incompatible onboard LAN. Can you please give me any ideas on what to do? Should I buy another board (price needs to be $50) or buy a network card or NIC. Can you suggest me a cheap one? like $8-$10 that works with osx86 10.5.6 to 10.5.8 and maybe 10.6.0 and point me to a guide to install with network card 'cause I'm very new to this and I can't do it alone . I'm installing with iPC 10.5.6 and will update to 10.5.8.

I wrote it already into an other topic regarding this subject - I am using a Edimax EN-9230TX-32 as I need a second NIC. It's using 8169SC chipset and doing great with OSx86.
