Well, I have two of them and they work just fine. I might add, Abit
gave me many years of 24/7 service. Being outdated was its only
problem. Also, Gigabyte and Asus were the top rated boards when I
bought my board. Some who have been here long enough may even recall me
posting my buy list here on this mailing list. So, you thinking
Gigabyte is junk can go in the same place as your thinking two ports on
every board is the default. It's your opinion and not based on
reality. I've learned the same usually applies to hard drives as well.

Odd. Just for giggles, I went to Newegg. I pulled up both AMD and
Intel boards. I then looked at the pictures of the top sellers listed
there. With my settings, it lists 36 on each page. Out of the first
page for each type, only a couple or so had two ports and only one that
I saw was under $200.00. The rest were more expensive than that. I
think that one $200.00 board was a Gigabyte by the way. I doubt you
want to claim owning that, right? Looked at 72 boards, only found a
couple or so with two ethernet ports.
So, looking at a large website that has likely millions of customers,
carries about every brand of board there is, I could only find a very
small percentage of boards that have two ethernet ports built in. That
is not what a reasonable person would call the default. If it was the
default as you claim, then there should only be a few that don't have
two ports. You add in that Daniel, Taiidan and myself have not seen
such a default, then I think you are mistaken.
