2000Mbps Gigabit full duplex support
32-bit 33/66MHz clock speed PCI Bus Master operation

A friend of mine uses the same internet connection&same speed and he also play games&host server but he has low ping in game & his server has also low ping

He told me that its my lan card fault...but my lan card is brand new :fou: is it really because of Lan card performance or a lan card like my friends would make a difference ? he uses (Micronet SP2612E LAN Card)

Solution
PCIe would possibly be faster, but shouldn't be an issue (LAN cards should add no more than a few hundred microseconds to your ping).

I'd be checking that you're pinging the same server.

Also, any reason that you're not using the built-in LAN in your motherboard?

Local Connections should be fine

Internet connections - you are at the Mercy of your ISP - this makes the big difference, and how far away from the server your connecting to, for ping and Latency
