Of the two processors I am looking at one has built in wireless networking. Can't decide if this is a plus or minus. The plus is that there is less
'stuff' in a small space. The minus is ... What happens if it breaks down? would the whole unit have to go off
 . Are networking
'thingies' things that breakdown alot?

Never had and problems with wireless card connections, I presume you will be getting if you don't already have one a Wireless networking Router. Cabled
connections are quicker than wireless, but if you not copying large amounts of data between local computers it's not a problem. Current Wireless G and N
bands are quicker than any available broadband connection so for surfing the speed will be the same.
A lot will depend on your telephone point and routers location in relationship to the PC, for set up etc, you will need to plug in a cable any way. As our router is next the the desktop system we use cable for it and wireless for the other desktop and the two laptops and the archos with out problems

Thanks Jane. I've just re read the spec and it is an internal 'ethernet' network device. I gather that is for when you are on BB via cable?

I'd struggle on for a few mths yet, Kitty.
Wireless 'g' is the norm now. (MIMO) Do a Google, and watchout for onboard wireless? Neither have it. Don't need it, I hear you say? Think about it. Options. Never stuck.

Ethernet is Wired networking, so you can use it to connect your computer to your router. I would always recommend at least having the option of connecting via ethernet, as wireless access point typically need setting up via Ethernet.
