Well - it depends on the Implementation.
The 3c9x can be in a bad implementation as on the Asus A7N8X Delux Boards.
The Onboard via-rhine Lan-port is 2 times faster than the onboard 3c9x
Implementation. But I have to admit - that in long run - Intel/Tulip and 3c9x
Boards have proven to be the most stable ones :)
