Does anyone know if the super dooper networking features touted by the £200+ motherboards actually makes a difference over low end ones like the Gigabyte DS3P or Asus P5B? Any link to specific reviews that look at this?

Alternatively is buying a high end networking card going to be better than onboard? Just wondering for when UT3 comes out - lag and packet loss are always a pain, and with my 10mb connection I know it shouldn't be that. :)
 
They make no noticeble difference. If you getting lag and packet loss, then your ISP is crap, even if it is 10Mbit, that doesnt mean its any good for gaming.
