PCI-E if you have a free slot for it. |

I would go with PCI-E, even 1X is faster than regular PCI. |

any suggestion on which to choose, PCI or PCI Express?
there is a minimal difference in cost. I do a bit of gaming, but usually not online. and nothing really high end either, only have an EVGA 8800GTS 512mb
Intel PWLA8391GT - PCI option
»www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a···33106121
Intel EXPI9300PT - PCI Express option
»www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a···33106006
secondary thought. has anyone used the PCI-Ex on a 1x or 4x slot. if so, how did it? any issues, etc to know of?
thanks for everyones help! |

Intel PRO/1000 PCI or PCI-E cards are the best money can buy. |

The Intel cards are the best for performance. |

| Hi all,
looking to see opinions on getting a new NIC. my Netgear is starting to cause crashes, so...(tears welling) must be replaced. I've had this one for quite a few years and has always been good to me. I have a gigE network top to bottom. am looking for a GigE card that has the least amount of impact on my system. I am a participant in the Folding@home program and like my free cycles going there not too concerned about price, just performance,
thanks everyone and have a good day!
