JKT Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 I saw a 10/100 nic for under $5 at comtechnetworking.com, and I was wondering if anyone here knew anything about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crispy Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 Most 10/100 nics are practically identical ...So the chances are good that a cheap networking nic will work just a well as more expensive one ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked187 Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 That is not a thought that I would release to the public, if I had it. NICs are quite different. If it is a generic brand, STAY AWAY. They can become nice garage can accessories quite quickly. D-Link is a prime example... there NICs just burn out from use... Get Intel or 3Com, you will be safe.

MadMick Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 I would have to agree with Wicked on this, you get what you pay for and the cheaper noname brands cause more hassle then they are worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
