I need help with networking
I am getting either the Abit NF7S or the Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe and I need to know what kind of network card I will need to buy for my current computer, and what kind of cable will be necessary to connect the two together.
Thanks in advance Edit: what is a good brand of network card?

i dont think it matters really what kinda network card you get.
most are pci and should work with your computer. as for networking, u cant just connect them. you either have to go thru a router of some sort or use a cross over cable (not sure about the last part)

Quality usually costs good money and they have a high reputation. In a mission critical setting, 3com or intel controller based are used. For every consumer, anything is fine. No consumer will ever need the controller based for simple lans and simple game servers. Controller based can ahndle thousands of simultanious requests. Netgear and linksys nics are of amazing quality and exactly fit the needs of consumers. 3com is focused on industrial applications.

The situation will be new computer with either stated motherboard, and older computer with network card. i will be getting adsl very soon, so i take it what i need is a router and two RJ45 CAT 5 blue network cables to link both computers to the router?

That being said, I do agree that 3Com definitely makes some of the best ethernet controllers I've worked with.
