Does anyone have any links to MB reviews that include network performance for the following?
Asus A8V, Asus K8N-E.

They haven't reviewed the K8N-E, but the Marvell-equipped Gigabyte nForce3 250 hit 734Mbps with 8% CPU utilization.
For comparison: nVidia sample with nForce ethernet
Frankly, I think I'd take their tests with a grain of salt when compared to the Aces Hardware review.

Is there really a meaningful difference in actual *network* performance?
The only real difference appears to be CPU utilization, which is a function of the drivers, not the hardware.

After trying different GIGe solutions, the answer is simply yes. Some cards/integrated solutions manage 200Mb/s, while other manage 800Mb/s.
That's why I'm asking this question, I've tried a few of the 200Mb/s ones...

I'd be interesting in seeing a list of those that fall into each of those categories. I can't see any correct hardware implementation being incapable of reasonable throughput.

Here's some netperf numbers from my P4C800-E:
TCP STREAM TEST to 192.168.2.3
Recv Send Send
Socket Socket Message Elapsed
Size Size Size Time Throughput
bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec
8192 16384 16384 10.00 795.34
While my A7N8X-X with a Intel1000MT manages about 300Mb/s.
My A7v600 with integrated gigabit nic manages this:
TCP STREAM TEST to 192.168.2.3
Recv Send Send
Socket Socket Message Elapsed
Size Size Size Time Throughput
bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec
8192 16384 16384 10.00 341.47
This is all through a SMC 8508T switch.
Intel CSA is from what I've read about the best available, even though the Nforce 250GB and K8T800pro have their own solutions.

Sorry if I wasn't clear .
I was trying to give some numerical data from my environment about the capabilities of the different NIC's.
Intel CSA: 795Mb/s (Linux)
Intel 1000MT 32bit PCI NIC in a A7N8X: 300Mb/s (WinXP)
A7V600 Integrated NIC: 340Mb/s (Linux).
In theory many are GIGe, in practise some aren't much better than a Fast Ethernet NIC.
