Cable Forum - View Single Post - Would a NIC be better than onboard ethernet ?

I have 3 NIC's in my machine, one is onboard 1Gbps connected to another machine via crossover at 1Gbps link speed.
The other two, well, 10/100, one is not used and one is used for connected to the internet.
I can drag files down on both NIC's at roughly the same speed when connected to the other machine... I wouldn't say there's that much of a difference really.
