I am having trouble deciding between the 3Com V.90 PCI and 3Com V.90 ISA
modem. Both modems have voice capabilities, and are OEM. According to my
research they are not winmodems (may be wrong) and the PCI version seems
to be cheaper than the ISA version, at least in Toronto (Ontario,
Canada).
My current systems specifications are:
SiS 80486 PCI (rev 2.0) Main Board 128KB Cache
AMD 486 DX4 100
80MB RAM 1.6GB Maxtor HD
2MB PCI Matrox Millennium Video Card
2X Matshita CR-562 CD-Rom connected to a
SB16 Value Edition Non-PNP ISA Sound Card
Logicode Quicktel 1414LH ISA RPI Modem
Currently running Windows95 OSR2 with Netscape Communicator 4.5.
Note: No problems installing hardware. Windows plug and play/pray works
properly.
Which one would be the best choice? or should I buy retail? Adds $50 to
$75 Canadian to the price and only available in ISA.
I am currently thinking about building a new system next year, probably
with 5 or 6 PCI slots which means it would have only 1 or 2 ISA slots,
with a Slot A or Slot One processor. Running Windows NT Workstation 4.0
or Windows 2000.
