Hi, Sai!
you should get 100 Mbps because these cards use auto-negotiation to establish the networking speed. Please take a look into cards' documentation . Usually, 10/100 cards have LEDs showing their current speed.
Another way of checking the speed is to copy a large file of known Mbit size from one computer to another and measure the time needed for this in seconds. Then divide the file size by this time and you will get an idea of the effective network speed.
