Without knowing the exact models then we can't guess. Generally the Intel is a better card that is used by companies while the dlink is products for soho and home use.

Also the manufacturing supply line and general overhead cost may result in a price difference.

If I needed the card for some business case or for the advanced features I'd pick the intel.

If I just needed some card then maybe look at dlink.

Most computers can't supply the full use of the gig lan anyway.
