Do you use your integrated ethernet jacks?

I've got 10 USB ports on my mobo. I use the second Lan port, with a crossover cable, to transfer files to other computers.
 
Once you start taking away these features that differentiate the mid to high-end boards, it makes less and less sense to pay the premium for them. If you're going to remove a redundant port, do so to add a new port (even parallel or serial if nothing else) instead of yet another pair of USB ports.
 
I use the dual gigabit ethernet on all of my boards for network backups and massive transfers while still having bandwidth for internets.
 
My server is the only box with dualgigabit... and i'm not using both ports currently, but that will change once i get the bloody thing set up.
