I've been told that two computers connected by ethernet cards won't run
multiplayer games any faster than two computers connected by a null modem
cable.  Considering the much higher data transfer rate of ethernet, I don't
believe it, but can anyone confirm whether or not this is true (so I won't
waste my money)?

Sorry for the crosspost, but this is appropriate for all the groups and I
figured this was the best way to get a response...
