    Default new network card?

    Ive always had problems with my computer when it comes to downloading things or watching videos. 50% of the things that i download are always corrupt. Whenever i try to watch videos and whatnot they will just stop.I'm mainly concerned about the downloads because it is very aggravating i think i may need a new network card, i need some suggestions

    motherboard- a8n sli premium

    thanks

    It could also be your router or modem. Pretty much any card would work. You can get one that will work for $10. If you want to go all out, get something like this.

    Ok, everything works fine on my laptop though, that's the only reason why i don't think it would be my router or modem. any good brands of network cards that you would suggest? I want a good one, at least one equivalent to the one i have on my motherboard now or better. but then again I'm not trying to spend over 100 dollars

    Ok, how about this? Or, if you want gigabit ethernet in the future, or you already have it, get something likethis.

    If you have a gigabit router, you can get ten times the speed within your network.

    First thing I would check.. make sure you have updated drivers. NICs are cheap anymore, but hey, if you can save that $5 for something else, it's worth it.
