That Intel NIC is really good, and for 15 bucks it's a steal. You probably won't get to really make good use of it, but Intel has very high quality NICs and NIC chips and with it being the same price as lower quality (not saying they're bad) NICs like stuff using a Realtek chip or stuff by Linksys and Netgear, you've really got a good bargin. Also, while I haven't run into any issues with any of these brands, Intel has the least chance of giving you any issues.
