What card should I use in my main machine, Netgear FA310TX or Linksys LNE100TX?

The Netgear card is 2-3years old, but still works like a champ. I just bought the Linksys card and I was wondering if I should switch the cards in my main machine? The FA310TX has a DEC chipset and the LNE100TX has a Linksys chipset.

Any opinions?

I've learned over the years: "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

I always prefer Netgear over Linksys.

By my experiences with these two cards, Netgear is easier to setup/install, Linksys is more stable in out-of-spec pci bus speed.

I agree with kw7, I have had both and I have had the best experience with the Linksys. The Netgear is the cheaper one so this goes by the saying, "You get what you pay for." I would go for the switch.

Good luck

Nope, actually the Linksys card was $5 after $15 rebate. Cheap model.
