VIA Or Realtek?

« on: December 28, 2004, 06:47:02 PM »

Just Curious...
I have a realtek rtl8139 & a Via PCI 10/100 onboard network adapter on my system. Which would work faster the onboard or the one in a pci slot?
Thanks

I have a Realtek $10 adapter, a "Rhine" adapter, and a Broadcom 440x onboard adapter, out of all of them i prefer the onboard, so I think that would be the best lol

harleyrider25670,
Welcome to the site hope you enjoy and tell your friends about us. I also use the Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller and really like it and it seems to work great for me, I have used other devices in the past but this works best. So my vote goes to the onboard

I would test both of them, compare what adapter thats faster, this is not a matter of onboard or PCI, its a matter of how good the drivers work with the adapter.

Make sure to use the latest drivers, grab em here www.realtek.com.tw

I have Realtek 8169 10/100/1000 Mbps PCI adapter and it works great, i also have a 10/100 Mbps Realtek 8139 PCI adapter that also works great.
