3Com EtherLink XL PCI TX

Advantages: good, fast, cheap
Disadvantages: Nothing

...as lasting, after the installation and the installation what both rather quickly and simply went, to this day, had never to open my computer because of this card I it works faultlessly to this day. I use it for my small network, what consists of three computers or if friends come to the gamble to me. Up till now I didn't as said have any problems with it yet and I think I am also absolutely satisfied with their speed who already needs a 1000 Mbit card at home, then? So nothing bad gives to report, I have used it for my DSL once a while, too and it worked and harmonized faultlessly also there, I really only can recommend it if spare one extra card, one of the good manufacturer 3 COM then. ? 3 COM ? 3Com Europe Limited 3Com Centre Boundary Way Maylands Park South HEMEL HEMPSTEAD Hertfordshire HP2 7YU ENGLAND phone: +44 (0)1442 438000 fax: +44 (0...

I have got 20+ of these cards running in a mixed OS enviroment connected either a 3COM 3300 24 Port switch, HP 10/100 Hubb or various other Hubbs doted around the office to provide connectivity. I think the best way to summerise would be that for a medium+ network these cards work absoultely fine. (After all BAY... Read review

Advantages: Fun
Disadvantages: None

...Picture the scene. My friends and I (note the good English!) have just finished our A-levels, and have about 3 months free to have some fun. One of your friends parents go away, and he decides to have a party. But this is no normal party, this is a network party! It may sound a little sad to most people, but it's actually quite a lot of fun. Computer games you see, that's the reason! A lot of the computer game doubters say that they are an anti-social affair, but that could not be further from the truth. Computer games are better when played with or against another person, but unfortunately for us PC gamers the chance to do this is not all that common. The internet does allow you to play against others, but the slow speed of a normal 56K modem limits the type of game you can play, and the speed at which you can play it. The answer lies...
