Not sure how much that matters, but can't hurt.
Anybody know who makes the 2x gigE NICs?

The N95 version is cheaper still, higher TDP (15w) but otherwise very similar performance. I'd have to get an n100 to do killawatt testing but it's not a big draw.
The Beelink uses realtek for the GBE nics, and an intel wifi device. Also has space for a single 2.5 and one nvme. Memory speeds won't matter much in this performance segment, though if you are specifically getting it for doing memory-intensive work on this, it would probably be better to get one with ddr5.
