As some of you know I'm building a SOHO PC for the "out-laws" on a budget. With that in mind I want to make sure I choose the right hardware to prevent any extra spending in the future.
I just remembered they were interested in a high speed internet connection, and it's the first I've had to consider such a connection for a build. Cable modem is their only option at this time. I'm looking at several motherboards and I've seen a few discriptions for an integrated LAN: LAN and Ethernet LAN. Are these the same? Is this just a nomenclature issue between manufacturers? Lastly, is my assumption that a PC with LAN can communicate with a DSL/Cable Modem for high speed connection? :b
Many, many thanks!
