10/100 base-T Ethernet card

[triskit]

So i just got all of the computer information from ITS at my college and one of the "hardware baseline" requirements is a "10/100base-T Ethernet card and standard RJ45 Ethernet cable." I'm probably getting my computer from www.cyberpowerpc.com. They offer 3 network options :

1. ONBOARD 10/100 NETWORK CARD

2. ADDITIONAL PCI 32 BIT 10/100 NETWORK CARD

3. Intel Pro Gigabite 10/100/1000 Network Card

do you guys know if all of those would satisfy the requirement... I can see that all of them say at least 10/100, but after that i dont have any knowlede of what base-T or ethernet exactly means

if its any help:

All 3 fit the requirements. If you are looking to save money, go with the first one on the list.

good deal, saving money is good.... what advantages would the expensive one have?

Not really anything that will greatly benefit you.

A benefit of option 2 would be: The card would be a seperate addition to your computer, thus making it a little easier to replace or troubleshoot.

benefit of 3: capable of reaching faster, and more efficient speeds than the other two. You arent going to have the other hardware you need to actually reach these speeds, so I wouldnt even worry about this one.

Stick with the onboard
