Looks like it might depend on when it was made, because the one currently 
listed
http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/pro1000mt_desktop_adapter.htm
has the Intel® 82541GI Gigabit Controller, but you are also right, on ebay I 
can find some that have 82540

I may go after one of those ebay ones.  Thanks for your help Chris
