In case anyone is using 2 cards in their net access machine, then its better to keep the cable connection in the PCI card and LAN in the on-board one. A PCI card is more easy to replace.
Doesnt matter. A lightning will kill your board no matter whether its a PCI or an onboard card...
It need not be as big as lightning. It can be some static or leakage that kills the ethernet part only. I just got that mobo repaired in warranty after its ethernet card conked out in one of the rainiy sessions. Then I reconnected the cable in the other PCI card and kept the LAN for the on-board device.
