...

Pros: Good performance for a PCI type card
Cons: none as of yet

Let me start by saying that I have personally seen this card operate and am basing this opinion on what I have seen thus far. The modem was being used on a win98 AMD k6-2 350mhz with 64mb of ram.

As with all plug in components for...

"Well we had this storm you see...", least that is how it started to the guy at Circuit City in my tale of the death of my modem. He pointed me to the line of internal modems and mumbled something about them being all the same really. So faced with the...

Cons: None yet

I just recently bought this modem from Best Buy. I personally didn't do much research on the Modem before I bought it. I just bought it cause it was a 56K/V90 (I don't know what that really means just that it is the average modem now a days), and it was...

Pros: Works better than two cans and a string.
Cons: Not much better.

I have bought and fought with 4 of these modems. The first I bought on the strength of the name and satisfaction with Diamond's video cards. From the start it always gave less than optimal connection speeds (I tried it in two different computers in...

Pros: Easy install...good price!
Cons: Noisy connection!

Cons: Can't help it when you've got a dodgy ISP!!

Cons: Takes up a PCI slot

I bought this modem recently to replace my old Diamond SupraExpress 336i ISA modem which finally gave up on me. The first thing that always gets you off to a good or bad start with a piece of hardware is the ease of installation. Im pleased to say that...
