That's where mine came from, their page altered since my order and now says 10/100 Ethernet, speaking to them now as it goes about two of the boards primary features not being as advertised 
Should mention though, apart from the above, I'm very happy with the board, plugged everything together and worked straight from the off

I have one of these mobos, two things of note:
1. They don't all have gigabit ethernet, mine as 10/100 (Broadcom chip 4401 vs 5702 and reading the number off the chip seems to be the only way to see)
2. The RAID controller only allows one device on the conventional IDE interface, it seems it's primarily meant for serial ATA devices. Seagate do some serial ata barracuda's if you can find a supplier!

Hi
I had one of these boards when I brought my new system. If you have a ATI 9700 Pro there have been a lot of problems, along with most other board with AGP 8x. Other than it refusing to boot with my GFX card in it seemed like a pretty good board to me spec wise.
As an alternate place to get one try www.anglianinternet.co.uk usually has good price (web page prices are inc vat) and charges about £10 to ship.
