Good Choice, Janina. I've got four computers over here, two have realtech ethernet cards, two have ThreeCom. The ThreeCom's are not as good as the realtech's, and one of the ThreeComs is gigabit.

Sorry to say that, but then network cards can be had very affordably these days. I bought a realtech 10/100 for $10 at a computer fair some time ago, for instance. You might need to decide whether chasing this particular card, or just replacing it is the smarter way to go. ace writes: > Hello, > > I have a 3C505 Ethernet card (according to my friend who sent it to me).
