Just a battle report.
I had a a lot of trouble getting the intergrated network card to work on my new server. Ended up buying a standard HP NIC in order to get things installed.
So far my experience with the server has been very good. I have only dedicated some of the resources to the media server, but it is still outperforming the old server by miles. We haven't tested it fully yet, but so far we haven't seen the stuttering issues that we had before.
