View Full Version : Ethernet card cowboy December 2nd, 2003, 15:38 PM Lookiing for a recommendation for a Ethernet card for Win98 in particular, I recently got one from Belkin, eccept it only works with Win98 SE, I mus t have the 1st ed. Anyone have a recommendation ? rik December 2nd, 2003, 15:44 PM Realtek seems to be a solid card, cheap, and normally supported by the OS without additional drivers. phishhead December 2nd, 2003, 16:03 PM 3com also makes good nics little on the pricey side though. Stripe December 2nd, 2003, 16:08 PM I like the D-link cards. I prefer to keep the network cards the same as the router. I would recommend going with a name brand card even if it costs a little bit more. They are more reliable and have better support than the no-name brands. cowboy December 2nd, 2003, 16:52 PM Anyone know of issues with any of the ones mentioned not working with the earlier Win98 ? Belkin is pretty good but as I mentioned it only works with the Win98SE rik December 2nd, 2003, 17:29 PM None that I know of...naturally if the OS doesn't support it natively you'll have to have the correct driver set. efc December 2nd, 2003, 17:35 PM This is one of those items, that I will buy the cheapest one available. I have purchased and installed a couple dozen the last couple years and have never experienced a problem. The most common brand I find at cheap prices is Asound. Others may have had different results. If so, I would be interested to hear. zErO December 2nd, 2003, 21:50 PM Ive used the Realtek card under a few different O/S never had any problems with drivers or support;)
