This is one I bought about 18 months ago, following what we thought was a power surge of some kind while no one was home: http://www.linux-hardware-guide.com/2012-07-08-intel-expi9301ctblk-pro1000-n... You can't go wrong with Intel performance-wise, but they do tend to be pricier. The last I bought, used in this machine, is no longer available, but uses the same Realtek 8169 as the two above and NAICT works just fine. As long as you have an empty PCIe X1, that's the slot I would buy to fit, instead of for PCI. Before buying anything I would confirm the onboard NIC got "fried" by doing a BIOS reset, just in case the hit caused BIOS corruption rather than NIC destruction. Thank you everyone for the advice. I am going to try resetting the BIOS first, and if that doesn't work I will go out and get the new card today.
