Theres sooo many nic cards, i just want one that will offer me the fastest my connection is capable of.
I've also considered "Killer M1", but its not for throughput but only for lower pings right? So it wont help for browsing? i game online but not much.

Yes they are. The older 3Com NICs kick ass too. Not sure about the new ones (I have tons of old 10/100 models sitting around - they take the load off the CPU).

3com is evil. Never buy any of their products. Ever. When they totally pulled out of the enterprise market in 1999/2000 I think it was and canceled all maintenance contracts they were done. Today 3com is just chinese crap.

seems to work good, i think my sites open just a tad faster but i did solve the issue i had of losing my net connection, now it stays on plus i guess i have the added benefit of less CPU cycles

I didn't know that but the "older" ones were great. The ones that I have are probably 1999/2000 models anyway (work had huge excess of them).
