IMHO, I would say that CompUSA clerk has no idea what he/she is talking about (shocker). I've got 5 test PCs at work with AMD processors, Intel Pro100 cards and gig ether cards, some running freebsd some windows. In both cases I've had zero problems with them (we use them for gig ether testing so the traffic is nontrivial). I've been using pro/100s for a few years in lots of different machines and as far as I've seen they Just Work from 10bT/hdx to 100bTfdx.
