    The maximum size i was able to put was 60meg or so (on both machines). Transfering a 50 meg file over the network from 1 ram disk to another i was only able to catch like 3 frames of it transfering using network screen on task manager (on high refresh). It showed a marginal increase from 15%-17%...

    According to the specs of the motherboard, the STL2 provides 2 bus, one for the 4 32bit slots and one for the 2 64 big slots. Seeing as the SCSI adaptor was a 32 bit slot as mentioned above, i moved it to the second bus. Now the server NIC card is operating on its own 64bit slot on its own bus...

    Sorry about that. I've tried so many configurations that they are mixing up in my head.. The desktop PC has onboard NIC, and the server has a PCI NIC and a PCI adaptec SCSI raid controller on the same bus. However when i plug the PCI NIC into the desktop computer (where it is the only...

    I wasn't expecting 100%, i wasnt even expecting 75%. I was just expecting to be able to use atleast 2-3x 100Mb/s instead of the 1.5x100Mb/s im getting right now. The desktops are standard dell computers. The SATA II controller is on the motherboards. Each desktop computer has 4.0 gigs of DDR...

    We just purchased two intel Pro/1000 MT Dual Port Server Adaptors for our servers that were previously running at 10/100. (Striped RAID 15k RPM SCSI drives). Running a connection between these two, or between the server and the desktop clients with onboard-gigabit only yields a flatline at 15%...

    Mythbusters to take on "the plane and the treadmill" conundrum?

    Okay. 19 Pages for this topic and it just goes back and forth. A plane's wing works through the means of air pressure. A wing provides lift because as it sails through the air, the pressure on the underside of the wing is greater than that over the top side of the wing. Lift is created. If...
