Thanks in advance.

Most advice say nvidia, and that is what I use myself.
If you need to use both nics for your network, it will be smart to use the
3com for f.ex dsl router and nvidia to connect to LAN.

My experience is that the Nvidia-NIC is more "resource hungry" -- not
just for the CPU, but in the general "respons speed" from the PC when
there is heavy load on the NIC.

Very strange, as the tests I've seen have shown the nvidia MAC as one of
those with least CPU-utilization. I have very limited experience of high
load usage with these nics, I seldom hook up other PCs.
