Am I correct in concluding that I would be better off with the X870E-E if I need to use the second PCI-E slot for an x4 10GBE card?

Correct! But ASUS also want to scam buyers here - second slot is... wait for it... PCIe Gen 4.0!

While X670 (same board) - Two slots PCIe Gen 5.0 and one PCIe Gen 4.0.

That's fine for my use case. It's not like I'm trying to run two GPUs.

Anyway, it just seems weird that the far more expensive board lacks the dedicated GPU lanes.

I dont know they put 2 RJ45 2,5G and 5G, just one 5G or 10G is enought
Also not many people have more than 1G, because in us or canada it cost a lot, unlike some europeean countries have cheap broadband up to 8Gbits
