1. If your MB has on board firewire, you do not need an additional card unless you have more devices than ports on the MB.
2. If your PC has 10/100 LAN on board, this is for a hardware (wire) and not a wireless connection. You need a wireless adapter if you plan to use wireless devices.
3. You do not need a telephone modem for DSL. When you subscribe, you will need installation of the DSL. It might be a self install kit or you might have a tecnician come out and set it up for you. A DSL modem will be provided. In most cases, it will connect to your 10/100 LAN port. It's simple as that. Good luck with your PC.
Configuring new PC, and
the motherboard has a firewire slot. Further down the configurations they ask me if I want a firewire card. I dont need both, do I?
Motherboard also includes an LAN 1x 10/100. If i have that, I dont need a wireless network adaptor, do I?
If I plan on installing DSL, do I need to get a modem?
Are wireless mice worth it? I mean, dont you need to be always changing batteries, or do they come with chargers?
thanks
