I have four computers sharing DSL. We all have Dlink 530tx+ cards except my wife's machine has a 3com 3c905-tx nm which I just put in her computer. It seems faster than the other machines now in Internet browsing.

Can some of you give me your opinions on what you consider to be the top of the line NIC?

Thanx!
 
For Small Home/Office, it does not matter.

"Well, there is some difference between Network cards. The difference was not that great. Some cards did have better performance than others, but over all most of the cards performed within acceptable ranges. "

If you read the rest, you can infer that if there a difference it will impact high volume cooperate Network, and not three computers sharing the Internet at home.

Another good comparison you can find here:

P.S. I wonder how many people spend over $50 for a NIC, can not afford a Router, and share the Internet with ICS.
