BYTE杂志对100种适用于ISA总线系统的16位和8位Ethernet网络接口卡(NIC)进行了详细测试和比较,最近公布了评比结果.总的来说,NIC比一年前推出的体积更小,价格更便宜,使用更方便.此外,在整个市场上,NIC的性能也趋于稳固:例如,所测试的速度最慢的16位NIC(Intellicom公司的Ether Plus—16C)只比速度最快的NIC(3Com公司的EtherLink Ⅲ)慢10%.之所以选择Ethernet NIC,是因为Ethernet是最流行的网络.之所以选择ISA,是因为它是最重要的PC总线结构.今天的大多数计算机仍采用16位总线,其上还可能配有一两个8位插槽.为了适应较老式计算机的需要,许多16位NIC卡也可使用于8位插槽.所以,16位和8位NIC被列为评比对象.
BYTE magazine conducted a detailed test and comparison of the 100 16-bit and 8-bit Ethernet network interface cards (NICs) for the ISA bus system and recently announced the results of the comparison. Overall, the NIC is more volumey than a year ago In addition, NIC performance tends to be solid throughout the market: for example, the 16-bit NIC tested (Intellicom’s Ether Plus-16C) is only the fastest Fast NICs (3Com’s EtherLink III) are 10% slower. The reason for choosing Ethernet NICs is because Ethernet is the most popular network. ISA was chosen because it is the most important PC bus architecture and most of today’s computers Still using a 16-bit bus, it may also be equipped with one or two 8-bit slots. To accommodate the needs of older computers, many 16-bit NIC cards can also be used in 8-bit slots. Therefore, 16-bit and 8-bit NICs are As a rating object.
