Is it true that on-board items are of lower performance than add-in item?
for example:-
1) add-in sound card is better in CPU utilization and quality
2) add-in LAN card is better in CPU utilization and handling heavy traffic
3) add-in SATA/IDE controller has own memory and processor
I have a on-board Marvell gigabit LAN. I also have a 3Com gigabit LAN card, using same Marvell chip. I observe the 3Com card has much more ICs & chips on it. What does that mean actually?
I observe also expensive LAN card has 2-3 times more ICs & chips compared to cheap LAN card, although bandwidth rating is the same. What make the difference?
Sorry for tonnes of questions
