Unless your a gamer I doubt if you could tell the differance. I have a US Robotics hard modem on my main computer and a soft Stirling one on my backup computer. My backup computer is a 1.1 gig celeron based p3 and my main one is a 2.4 p4. Both on differant phone lines. Connect time is about the same. If anything the soft modem connects faster(slightly) probably due to the phone line. Download time is very slightly faster on the hard modem but not enough to get excited about. Both are v92 and both are about twice as fast as my external hard modem which I replaced. It was not v90 or v92. Unless your planning to online game save your money.
