(Or is there something about the structure which compenstates that?) 2). Would this be called the 915 GM chipset, or not? (I don't know how to tell) 3).When it says 10/100 Ethernet, is this a network card which is a weaker version than 10/100/1000? Questions 1 and 2 are particularly important in my mind.
