    fogive me, if this question is in the wrong forum.
    Hey hopefully this is the computer specs ill be getting (BTW, this is a desktop, i know i know, im sorry!! and im not a traitor!):
    unfortunately, with this one, i do not have a choice between either network cards, so here is my question:
    if i buy it seperately, will i be able to "fit" it in the chassis and utilize it?

    secondly, which network card is better? what is the difference between the two? which one should i go with?

    They're essentially the same exact card.

    Seriously, whatever you're paying for that is going to be too much. Build it yourself and put whatever NIC you want in it.

    most of these questions that i ask, i get the parts for extremely cheap, so i might as well buy it.

    There literally will be no difference between them for you. The Xeno has been updated with software that performs exactly like the 2100.

    If they were both the same price, the 2100 is the one to go with, purely because its newer. And has a little red LED. Thats it.
