NIC performance

[00_Punk]

found this article over @ tom's hardware - thought it would be good to look at if you need a new NIC, or want to know how they differ performance-wise. You can read the article HERE (http://www6.tomshardware.com/network/01q3/010820/)(it's a bit long). It also reviews several NICs.

too bad that test is bias! only running 3COM and INTEL server NIC's and not other brands like Linksys and D-link, oh well... good thing I run both 3COM and Linksys and I don't see a diff at all - I tested them with sandra and they came back Identical.

ya, but it has lots of other info in the article as well, that can be applied to other NICs

I have a 3COM I would be willing to trade and I have two BELKIN NICs
