Ethernet card

Hello,

My motherboard Ethernet adapter doesn't work, so i have resorted to looking to buy an Ethernet card. The problem is i only have 2 x8 pci-e slots left on my motherboard as my sound card is in the tiny one and my graphics card is in the x16.

Does anyone know what i can do or recommend any cards?

Sam.

This will do you

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x TP-Link Gigabit PCI Express Network Adapter (TG-3468)= £7.99

Total: £11.47
(includes shipping: £3.48)

I have something like 4 of those cards, they do okay and it's easy to find drivers for them.

Not an issue as a PCI-E 1x card (like ExRayTed linked), or like your Sound card, can be used in the bigger PCI-E 16x (or 8x or 4x) slots without issue.
