Seems like I will have to be sticking to the single slot normal card things if I am wanting to have a wireless card too. Is there any special things I should consider when having two cards in at once or will it be ok? > >The advantage of the realport cards are of course that you get a real RJ45 connector built into the card, so you don't >have to use a fragile dongle or xjack.. The cards I am looking at are also 32 bit (the dongle ones). I was just wondering if I will get any kind of major performance loss using 16 bit cards. I can only find a Realport1? card (just says realport) and they're 16 bit... and so is this FA410 card if I was to get a dongle for it instead.
