Full duplex is obviously better - it means that the network card can transmit and receive at the same time.
However, it is dependent on the other network cards/hubs/routers etc. also being capable of full duplex.
If you can, I would set the card to auto-detect - that way, you can always be sure that the card will set at a speed that can communicate with whatever it's attached to.

that particular netcard defaults to 1/2 duplex
i set mine to full and have had no problems. i also havent seen any significant change in performance

Full Duplex gets better performance on 100Mbps Switching HUBs. On regular 10/100 non-switching HUBs it isn't all that great.
