Doug; Nic's are mainly used in business computers, and businesses seem to like to buy the higher end models of PC's. PC's are a writeoff item and spending 1-2k for one is no big deal. A $60-$80 nic is no big deal, quality is. Companies like quality, reliability and service. This is why IBM, HP, DELL and Compaq do so well against a sea of cheaper alternatives. IT managers like NIC's that they know they can trust. 3Com also sell's their chips to Mother board manufactures who integrate the Lan into single board solutions.
