First, i must say i do not understand much about network, only the basics, but im trying to improve that.

I got 2 3COM NICs:

-3C905CX-TX-M
-3C905B-TX

After searching at 3COM's website, i found details about the first one, but not the second.

What i ask is, if possible, could you tell me wich one is better?
The chip on the second one is much bigger than the other, but i thought: "Maybe thats just because it has more features, not because its faster"

So, if it is only a matter of features, could you link me to a datasheet or something to the second NIC?
