im just wondering as im currently using a 3com 3c905b-tx nic
if there would be something better and would it be worth it?
im just enquiring as i used onboard nics until the i have had a fault and had to resort to a backup, and the onboard one sempt alot smoother than the 3com, but didnt want to download at full wack.
also is there an improvement if you use cat6 cable rather than cat5?
this is just for broadband no LAN. (using 3com cmx cable modem)
