If you've got ethernet, use it. This is a dedicated port for this kind of work. Besides that you may find that you need the USB port for some other device in the future.

Not to mention, the USB port may be USB 1.0 instead of 2.0... Much faster. Go with the Ethernet. How is it you have a choice? Mine requires both. One for the connection and one for the modem.

Ethernet. Most modern motherboards have a Cat5 ethernet socket in the back. I'd also recomend a wireless router if your computer is on a different story of your house than the cable modem. I learned this the hard way.

I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday. Wink
