10/100 just means the card is capable of running at either 10Mbps or 100Mbps.

When you say changing it to 10/100, what are you changing it from?

the card you alrady have might be 10/100, and if it isnt there really is no need to replace it unless you are on a network, because you cable speeds are not going to go over 10Mbps.

Yeah, cable systems are currenty limited to 10mbps at half-duplex, so changing to a 100mbps capable NIC will be of no use.

yeah, thats true, or if you want to see it in KB or MegaBytes, 10mbps = 1,280 KB or 1.25 MB, and 100mbps = 12,800KB or 12.5 MB
