Generall speaking PCI cards are better (faster "bus"...better Plug and
Play,....etc)
As for "spyware"....I was present for the install...I let them install the
@home software (still the old 1.7 version)
and have had no problems...I've heard some people say that the @home 2000
software really bogs down the system
but I dont use it....
