Finding the right Cable Modem

[Guest]

Alright, so i'm looking to shave some of the monthly charge off my soon to be cable internet deal so i'm looking for a cable modem to purchase.

Can anyone recommend a cable modem for me, maybe one that you've had good expieriences with?

Also, is a cable modem a fairly passive device, meaning no drivers? I'm currently building a new machine and it will have XP on it when it's done, so i'm trying to plan ahead. Thanks all!

I am using the toshiba pcx 1100U and it is a good performer (The U designates that is also can be connected via the usb port but DO NOT DO THIS you will lose bandwidth etc, and be forced to install drivers which for nic setups are not needed) I have also heard good things about the Motorola surfboard 4100 unit, I think either will suit ya' just fine
take a look at the hardware forum at www.dslreports.com
