Home Lan: Nic question

[Guest]

Hi guys.,I'm new to this group...
I am running a small home network of three machines, one has a realtek8029(as)pci card, the othe two have 8139's rated at 10/100.
My question: does the system with the 8029 (rated at 10 mps) have slower lan and internet capabilities than the other two ? Should I upgrade the 8029 card ?

Thanks muchly.

Yes.

Should I upgrade the 8029 card ?

I would. Well, actually, I already did all mine
Sometimes 10/100 cards will show up as loss leaders for $7 - $15 at Frys.

Thanks muchly.
