Ask that question over on the tweaking board. You'll get more input.

I use a Linksys LNE100TX(v.4) and i find its a great adapter, easy to install and easy driver installation also.
I had a D-Link befor this one but it wouldn't stand up to my system being overclocked via the front side bus.I've seen no troubles like that with the Linksys.

I use 2 Linksys Eitherfast 10/100 Nic's and a Linksys BEFSR41 V2 Cable Router to share my internet connection. The router was very easy to set up and had everything up and running in less than 5 mins. Upload and download speed has stayed the same and ping rates are excellent with no packet loss.

Linksys and Netgear are the 2 best buys for NICs in that price catgory. They perform faster than 3Com and Intel pro NICs.
D-Links have driver problems with Win'95(O,A,B) and Win'98(O) but work graeat if you can solve that problem, but for the same cost i would suggest Netgear FA-310/311/312 as the best overall cards for broadband internet.
