PCMCIA Network card vs PCI Network card?

[carvedeye]

HI all I am wanting to know which one would IS faster as I now have a mediator lt4 and don't know if should stick with the PCMCIA card or get a NIC network card instead?

what are your thoughts?

That's great, I am sure I have a PCI Network card somewhere so will give it a try.

If you want to use a pcmcia card and a mediator you have to move the memory window jumper on the mediator from 8mb to 4mb, and that should make your mediator go slower or behave worse, i have never tested it myself but i guess they had good reasons to add that jumper.

I have my mediator set to 8mb and I am still able to use my PCMCIA network just fine, I think you need to change it to 4mb if you are using a PCMCIA memory expansion.
