Are those $50 3Com NICs worth it at compusa?

do they add enough good features? My home network with 3 comps is kinda slow

Well it wont speed up your network any....unless you are using 10baseT right now. But even a cheaper set of 10/100 nics would do the job then

If you're going to spend that much buy an intel gigabit ethernet card from the intel site for $30-$40. Way better.

gigabit switches are through the roof [in comparison to other 100baseT gear] ; consider migrating to 100baseT for all your systems and doing cross-over gigE between a few systems you need direct file transfer with. FWIW, 3Com and Intel make the best NICs out there

hmmmmm, maybe i will get 2 gigabit cards to do twisted on those. I already have 100mb. Do you guys think its worth it to get like 20 feet cat6? I already have about 600 feet of Berk-Tek Cat5e.
