I was just wondering now having built a computer for my son and his boyfriend is there one type of ethernet card and chipset thats better than another?

The motherboard thats in my PC is this one...

It uses a Realtek PCI-E GbLAN controller 8111E 10/100/1000 chipset.

The motherboard i put into my sons pc which he just uses for email and general browsing so didnt need anything as high spec is this board...

This board also uses the same chipset for ethernet.

Are there any better chipsets and cards out there to get the best out of the net?
