Intel seems to be grabbing market share by agressive pricing (bought 4 last week for C$50 ea), so almost every computer equipment distributor carries the intel cards. Since I already have the single-port cards, I guess I'll install them with a couple empty PCI slots between them to help with the cooling. -Ralph
