hi guys...

i am trying to figure out which NIC card to buy...

i am looking at Intel's gigabit single port, copper, rj-45 cards...

Intel CT vs. Intel PT gigabit cards...

the chipset difference is: CT = 82574 ... PT = 82572-GI

on Intels' web site, the PT is recommended for "servers" while the CT is recommended for "desktops"... yet the CT has a newer chip...

i cannot find what the real difference is between these 2 NIC cards...

any and all help woule be appreciated ....

by the way, cost for CT = $30 and PT = $48, both at newegg
