DEADLY Posted February 13, 2006 CID Share Posted February 13, 2006 Hi, I was wondering wether network cards made a internet speed difference rather the ones built in on the motherboard:?: anyhelp would be appreaciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted February 13, 2006 CID Share Posted February 13, 2006 the ones onboard are going to be faster by design because that are connected directly into the southbridge... I can look and see if there is something out there to get some more info.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just- Posted February 13, 2006 CID Share Posted February 13, 2006 if you are in the usa any built in mother board card should be WAY FAST if you are in japan or sweeden where they have 100Mbps connection or hong kong 1Gbps then your network card has to be a good one to get those connections Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAINMAKA Posted February 14, 2006 CID Share Posted February 14, 2006 it would be nice to use our ethernet adapter to their full potential, maybe in a few years that will be possible without breaking the bank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be for multiple reasons.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
