Which of these 2 Network Adapters should I use as my default?

Here's the pic: http://i37.tinypic.com/6ozbiw.jpg

Just wondering which one is superior to the other, if any. Because it seems that when they are both enabled my browsing isn't as fast as when only one is enabled...but I don't know which one should I leave enabled... I have tried them both and haven't really noticed a difference between the 2 , but I'm open to advices on which one I should set as my default.

    Looks like you have two ethernet LAN adapters installed in this computer. The computer only uses the one that has the ethernet wire in it and ignores the other one, and this does not affect Internet speed at all. The ethernet wire at its slowest is 10mbps and most internet connections are much slower than this. These are capable of 10/100/1000mbps. The speed that gets used depends on what they get connected to and if they find the wire is capable of these speeds. Again that does not affect speed of the internet with is controlled by the ISP
