That depends on how much bandwidth you want to push.  I would prefer an intel
100 megabit to a 3c905b anyday.  But if you are pushing < 20mb/s, it doesn't
matter much.  3c905x isn't bad.

If you need big bandwidth, besides intel gigabit you can check out tg3 cards
from Broadcom.  These will push you into > 800 megabit/s territory with work.
But uhm.. be careful on which version of tg3 you use ;-).
