Third consideration: is the system - CPU, memory and bus speed adequate for the cards rated speed. Consider that it will be trying to work at its expected minimum interface speed, regardless of the actual speed of data in/output over the connection.
I had a system that when run on a LAN with about 300Mb data flow rate gave all sorts of errors including delay write failures on CD/DVD drive, even at low speeds, and in packet mode, as well as timeouts on hard drives. And that system CPU was running at nearly 1Ghz JimB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gaffer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 11:24 PM Subject: Re: Gigabit Ethernet and Windows 95 > Hi James, > > Two issues here.
