Folks,
I have aquired a whizzy new Desktop PC and am wondering which is the best way to connect to my Broadband Router.
I have various 54G PCI cards kicking about, or 54G USB dongles...which have always worked in the past.
The Laptops are Wireless, so they look after themselves.
The Router is a Belkin 45G with 4 spare Cat5 ports...so I could cable it to the PC. The PCI/USB adaptors are all Belkin and it's BT broadband I'm on.
Is running a whizzy PC via Cat5 cable going to be noticably faster than using a Wireless card/dongle?
Knowledgable types please pass comment!
Thanks...
Glen.
