I have recently bought a new computer (built it myself) with the following specs (if those are needed):

AMD FX8320 (overclocked).
GTX 660 (Overclocked).
ASUS M5A97 R2.0 Which includes the: Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller.

I've also purchased 150mbps connection (both up and down), but for some reason, it won't allow me to use the full amount (my network card won't allow me to).

This is the Local Area Connection Status: http://gyazo.com/3a7d6e78cab1d6f5f198483fc569aaab
& here's configuration of the network card: http://gyazo.com/cb93b66d88ac78cbe4dbe6f152e4e820 - I had it set to auto before, but that didn't help, it's still stuck at 100mbps.I have tried restarting my computer, with both of those results still standing & my router can support up to 300mbps.

I tried downloading a file, & monitoring it under the Windows Resource Monitor - When I came just below 100Mbps it would say: "100% Network Utilization" - which means it's a network card problem, right?

I appreciate your help & merry x-mas everyone!

My router is set to 1Gbps (which is the maxium) by: Netgear JWNR2000.
Also, I connected my computer directly to my fiberbox (I have fiber connection, with the fiberbox able to reach way beyond what I have - contacted the ISP), that isn't the issue.

Guess I was "cheated" with this. I assumed it was 300Mbps when I purchased the router - guess not. Thank you guys!
