mick , have u got telewest broadband with a netgear card ?

if u have or anybody else has and is thinking of the k7s5a , it is renowned to having problems with the above . i ended up replacing my m/b totally .

cheers

the problem with the net gear card suplyed by telewest is that it doesent like running at 133mgz so it has to be replaced if you have a newish pc. this is a net gear prob not motherboard.
