    Pull the modem.
    If you are not using the NIC, you might want to try it...it might be faster than the onboard stuff. If not, pull it as well.

    use your onboard netcard, less confusing that way.

    nothing will happen when removed. disconnect the external power cord to the tower before you remove the cards. see if you can get 2 blank brackets to fill the 2 slots after cards removed from local computer store.
