Duel NIC on A7N8X

[KWPLunchbox]

Has anyone bothered to compare the performance between
the 3COM and Nvidia ethernet ports on the A7N8X deluxe
board? I'm mainly concerned in the CPU usage difference
between the two.

the difference between any two nics is negligable. supposedly the nvidia nic works better in conjunction with the rest of the board.

I agree. The difference it very small.

Yeah, I agree with you two. I've switched back and forth and don't notice any difference. I was just hoping to see one of those spiffy charts somewhere. Heh.

Does anybody know, which model the 3com card is and/or where to get the driver, because w2kpro won't recognize the card automatically.

thanks

Can you just download the driver from Asus web site?
