They do have pcmcia laptop cards that will get you gigabit permormance verses usb simulated gigabit. Link http://www.byterunner.com/byterunner/category=Ethernet+PCMCIA+cards

The office I'm thinking of converting to gigabit has all new computers, so they already have gigabit cards in them. There are a few computers with 100 megabit cards, and a few notebooks with 100 megabit cards. I'm thinking of using the USB adapters only for the laptops and get some inexpensive gigabit cards for the other computers. Right now I'm not sure the expense is worth it for any of this. The only slow throughput we have is when reindexing databases or running some SQL selects from the NAS which we are using as the data server now. The reindexing is only for emergencies and the SQL selects are only for month-end processing. --- On Thu, 10/2/08, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [NF] Anybody using USB Gigabit ethernet adapters? > To: [email protected] > Date: Thursday, October 2, 2008, 6:13 PM > Well that sounds very ironic due to the fact that max usb > 2.0 is limited to 480 mb/s like you mentioned.
