When choosing an ethernet card, which kind should I look for? Well, the PCI card, being 64 bits instead of 16/32, will give better performance. But I wouldn't think that choosing PCI over ISA would give that much of a performance boost. I was going to get an ISA ethernet for these reasons; you never know when you'll need those PCI slots. Now something like a video or sound card, that is something that you would tend to notice the performace increase of if you upgraded from ISA --> PCI. I wouldn't think it would matter much for something like ethernet. Any comments on this?
