DFI Ultra-D - ethernet card = RJ45 LAN ports?

[leepark]

I currently use cable internet which requires an ethernet card which connects to the cable modem.

Will I need to buy an ethernet card for my DFI Ultra-D motherboard? I noticed that there are 2 RJ45 Lan ports - are these the same as the ethernet card? If so, which one do I use (does it matter)? One is "controlled by the Vitesse VSC8201 Gigabit Phy chip" and the other is "controlled by the Marvell 88E8001 Gigabit PCI chip"

which one should I use?

Doesn't really matter which one you use as your cable modem is probably only 10/100 speed. However, in general, the one not connected through PCI is the one to use as it can handle a larger bandwidth (the PCI one is limited to the speed of a PCI bus, which I forget).
