Hi there , we are currently using quickbooks as a accounting package , and the network uses some large files , the computer we use are overkill for what we need but when we use them we have slowdown on the network , we are using 10/100 network at the moment , would a gigabit network help ?
 
it definitely would, also check your switches. They might just be outdated hubs. And wifi also slows things down quite a bit.
 
I didn't really see an increase in speed between my server and my PC when I went from 100Mbps to 1Gbps :confused:
 
well, that's massively disappointing. and highly suspicious in light of your other issues. Tried pulling the NIC and then running the games?
 
Using my onboard for a while now (also gigabit)

And yes, I have tried with and without any network hardware. I also observed the lack of increased speed between my PC and ID10T's (quite some time ago)
 
But you'd think that at least one in four would work properly? :confused:

Not that I'm complaining about 100Mbps, still plenty fast for home use :)
 
I had a Gigabit card in my old Nforce 2.

it only manages 200Mbit. About the same as a cheapie PCI gigabit card though a PCI slot.

My onboard Nforce4 and nforce6 series Gigabit get close to 900Mbits. You can get a Marvel chipset PCI-E(1x) network card that will do about 700Mbits.

At the last Si-Corp lan (they have got full gigabit on every table), using 2 cables and the 2x Nforce680i gigabit cards multiplexed, I was copying from other peeps at 96MBytes a second.
Can anyone say "movie in 10 seconds"

/shameless bragging off
 
it was hard drive limited though. my 2 500GB's in RAID 0 cant write quicker.
