Hey everybody,
I hooked up an old 486 w/o coproccesor ISA 33Mhz with a 10 Mbps network
card and got 33 KB/sec downloads while my pentium w/3Com 10/100 card
gets 151KB/sec..Im wondering if it is worth my effort to buy an ISA
10/100 card to try to get better reception on the 486...or is there
another reason why I would get such drasticly reduced rates? the ISA bus
perhaps? tyvm
Terry
