    Depends on your need. External modems don't care what the operating system is and process the data themselves while internal (winmodems) are mainly made to use with Windows and usually offload the procesing to the PCs own processor. Regarding the speed there are a lot of variables involved, quality of the line, the signal, the data being sent, compression, etc.
