About the NIC chip problem on the motherboard
To the Internet users know that the Internet is used to dial, so the network card is not familiar to people who used to surf the internet, and now do not need to dial, so the Internet card became an essential hardware, and the motherboard on the card chip has become an important part, together to understand:
Motherboard card chip refers to the integration of the network functions of the motherboard integrated card chip, corresponding to the motherboard on the backplane also has the corresponding network interface (RJ-45), the interface is generally located in the audio interface or near the USB interface.
Onboard RTL8100B network card chip
In the past, because broadband Internet access is very small, mostly dial-up Internet, NIC is not a necessary computer accessories, onboard network card chip motherboard is very few, if you want to use the NIC can only take the way of expansion card; now with the popularity of broadband Internet, the network card gradually become one of the basic computer accessories, onboard network card chip motherboard is more and more.
In the use of the same network card chip, the onboard network card and the independent NIC in the performance of no difference, and the relative and independent network card, onboard network card also has a unique advantage. The first is to reduce the user's procurement costs, for example, now onboard Gigabit NIC Motherboard more and more, and the purchase of a separate gigabit NIC but need a good hundreds of yuan; second, you can save the system to expand resources, do not occupy a separate network card needs to occupy PCI slots or USB interface, etc. again, to achieve good compatibility and stability, It is not easy to have independent network cards compatible with the motherboard or conflict with other device resources.
The onboard network card chip can be divided into 10/100mbps Adaptive network card and gigabit NIC with speed. The network connection method divides into the ordinary network card and the wireless network card, the chip type may divide into the chipset built-in network card chip (certain chipset's South bridge chip, like SIS963) and the motherboard to attach the independent network card chip (such as Realtek 8139 series). Some high-end home motherboards, server boards also provide a dual-onboard network card. The main manufacturers of onboard NIC chips are Intel, 3com,realtek,via, SIS, and so on.
On the motherboard of the network card chip problem, we will give you the above content, if you have more knowledge of the network card chip or still do not understand the problem, welcome to communicate with us, the computer knowledge to share.
