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)

Any NIC with the correct drivers should work perfectly, the slowest NIC's run at 10mbps which is 10x faster than a 1mbps BB connection. Cat6 will make no difference - Cat5 will run at 10 or 100 mbps, cat6 is for even faster speeds, all way beyond your BB connection speed.
