>From my experience, yes there is a difference. In PC Mag tests done cards, Intel followed by 3COM had the least drag on CPU.

The reason why I am asking is because I am helping my friend to setup some computers for his hotel, and we built AMD64 with MSI NEO4 motherboard. We need to install a hotel management software in which the tech support insists us to use only 3COM or intel adapter. They say there are too much problems with network adapter other than 3COM or intel. We don't mind to install the additional adapter, I am just curious if anybody here has any hands-on experience on the problems cause by non 3COM or intel adapters. I've been using the onboard nvidia adapter on asus A7N for years now without any problems. TIA Dani
