Full duplex, with a theoretical transfer rate of 5Gbps. I'd say it's going to outright sink eSata and give Firewire a run for it's money. And I'm not sure I understand the statement "when usb becomes the standard", since it's pretty standard already.

My Asus P5E died, and I'd like some suggestions on a good replacement. I'm running an E8400 with cross-fired HD 4850's, DDR2 memory. Thanks.

Having installed my HD4850 and got it running fairly cool, I'm looking at upgrading my mobo to put in a second 4850 in Crossfire. I have an Intel E4500 - I may upgrade this as well as it is probably bottlenecking the card somewhat. What chipset is best with Crossfire? What motherboards...

Yes, because we all know the search function of this forum works so well. But thanks for the input. :P

Thanks all for the input. I think I am going to go with the DGL-4300---->GigaExpress 8 port Switch---->LAN and upgrade my nic's to Gigabit just for fun. :)

PCI or USB Network adapters. Any difference between the two?

I'm well aware of the other potential limiting factors, and would never expect to actually see 25Mbps. I do want to maximize what I CAN get out of this connection however, and right now this router seems to be limiting that to about 5-7Mbps. Going direct to the modem is showing 9-12. Let...

I just upgraded my internet service to a 25Mb connection. In testing the new speeds I've concluded that my router (wired) is bottlenecking the connection. I get about twice the speed going straight to the modem. I've had the router for about 5 years, so it's probably time to get a new one...

Try a new nic?

I've just built a new gaming rig, and have bumped my old machine down to storage/movie rig, which leaves another older rig sitting collecting dust. I figured I'd take a shot at installing Linux on it and maybe setting it up as a mail/web server or router/firewall. Any advice for which...
