to the forums, although I don't know the answer to your question, you may want to pm a mod and ask them to put this in the mobo section.

ill give you an evil answer, www.google.com ..

its useful for most general information

but about your motherbaord its the intel NV4 sli (hopefully) and the nvidia drivers should also install (optionaly) the Nvidia hardware firewall (installs last on the chipset drivers)

but bewarned, for me at least and a few other people the nvidia firewall does cause data corruption on the lan ports while the firewall is installed.

The answer to your question is yes. You have a hardware firewall on that board, but only on the nVidia NIC. The Marvell NIC is not hardware firewalled. Both are also protected by the nVArmor firewall software too. Welcome to the boards!
