Hi all - sorry if this has been asked before.

Im getting Cable installed this Friday and have already received my cable modem. It can connect via the ethernet (i have a ethernet card already ) and also via the USB port.

Would there be any difference in speed in using either connection? - not so much download speed - but speed communicating to me cpu :)

soz if thats a dumb question - but ive not really had much chance to read up on all this yet

Cheers for any help
