Hello
As the subject says : I want to upgrade my Home LAN to Gigabit
Ethernet. I have already decided on a switch but I am still unsure
which NIC to buy. Do you have any recommendations ? I am currently
considering simply going for a GA311 from Netgear, which has a Realtek
Chipset.
Bye

I installed GA311's in four machines on my network about a year ago.
Had no problems with them. A couple of weeks ago, I installed
TrendNet TEG-PCITXR nics on two additional machines. These use the
same RTL8169 chipset as the NetGear cards. They work fine, cost less.
You won't find that the network upgrade results in a 10X speedup of
the network, but it will be noticeably faster.
