10/100 lan ON MICRO-atx motherboard- general ?

[Phosphate]

Will this type of LAN slow down my cable modem internet connection compared to Gigabyte LAN?

Unless you have a connection over 100 Megabits/sec, no, it will not slow it down.

Thanks for the info.


2370 kilobits per second

That was what I got on my current computer when I went to PC pitstop....Now let me look up the conversion.

So according to this --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabit 2370 kilobits is only 2.3 Megabits? Something tells me that is not right?

That's quite possible depending where you are e.g. I'm on 4Mb cable but even then you also lose a bit due to overheads.

I have 3000 kilobit cable "officially" but yes it appears there are some losses.

So am I right in assuming 10/100 LAN can handle cable modem at full speed? (I don't know what LAN the current computer I tested)

Because if I needed Gigabyte LAN I would definitely get it.

100base nic will handle a T3 connection, so yeah, it will be fine for cable. All consumer grade internet connections currently available wouldn't even saturate a 10base card.
