are ark, encore, netcruiser, asound network cards ok?

[igowerf]

Has anyone ever used an ark, netcruiser, asound, or encore network card? How is the quality? I want to get two for just gaming and file sharing. Thanks.

Those are all generic cards, most of which use the Realtek chipsets. I've used dozens of the Asound cards; they work fine, and they're nice and cheap.

EDIT: Note, I wouldn't use these cards for servers where mission is critical, but they're fine for PCs.
