Yeah - the two computers I had at that time was a 486dx50 (32meg) and a 486dx33 (8meg) so it wasn't powerful, but it's definately the CPU that judges speeds. I say again though, there's no substitute for quality between ne2000's and smc/3com cards :) ...Karl -- Karl Ferguson, Tower Networking Pty Ltd (ACN: 072 322 760) [EMAIL PROTECTED] t/a STAR Online Services [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +61-9-455-3446 Fax: +61-9-455-2776 http://www.star.net.au/ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
