REcently I got a new mobo that came with an onboard card. It has a NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking Controller However I also have a Linksys LNE100TX Fast Ethernet Adapter(LNE100TX v4) card. Wow using a large program and multi tasking with things such as ... azureus. I would get problems with memory dumps and stuff but I heard it was because of a network card and stuff not being able to handle to much. I ping about 5-8 lower with the linksys... But I dont think I would have the problem with the unboard one.... I cant figure out which is better though. And I dont know alot about em.. Was hoping someone could help me out with it

If you were using the onboard network adapter and then switched to the add-on Linksys card, did you disable the onboard device first? I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the problem you are having. My question would be why you are using the Linksys card if you already have a decent LAN port on your motherboard in the first place?
