Networking 2 PC's 1Gb Lan? 100Mb Lan?? Other way?

[TrECeNTeRs]

I got 2 PC's Nforce2's I will cut and pase the specs from my xfire profile.

Anyway I have them Linked with 100Mb NIC's and a 100Mb Router...

I was wondering if 1Gb is ALOT better and are there any possibilities of linking 2 PC's togeather in any way to maybe have one help the other with a load?

What I am saying is data transfer the only way to have PC's work togeather???

I know we have had Athmon MP's and now Dual Cores to basically make one PC into 2 in a way...

Is there anything that is useful about having 2 PC's with the same specs?

I know you can make game servers and file servers or stream video from the others harddrive and ect...

Just never heard about anyone ever tryen to bridge 2 PC's PCI busses or something like that. I am a tech but I do not design computers so I have no idea what is possible with them.

I would guess anything ever done would fall under the networking catagory.

Setting a Home/SOHO Giga network.

Peer to Peer Giga Home Networks (Current State at mid 2004).

In other words you can make a home network is all ... And it is data transfer is all ... And you got to have SATA or SCSI setups to hake the harddrives use the GB NICS at any kind of faster potential.


So GB is basically worthless for me and NO you cant do anything with 2 pc's besides the stuff I mentioned Seperate stuff that doesnt affect the bus load of the other.

Yap if the whole system is not tuned for Giga and you just use giga switch and Giga NICs you woud see some improvement in LAN "Speed" (usually about 10-20Mb/sec. over 100Mb/sed.) but Not "real" Giga.
