nForce 3 250 Gb question
Last response: in Motherboards
So I shell out a little extra a while back for a motherboard using the nForce 250 Gb chipset because among other things I wanted to use the 1 Gigabit/s network card. I look in the network setting only to find it's running at a 10 Mbit/s transfer rate. Granted I know little about NICs, but shouldn't this be running at 1 Gb/s aka 1000 Mb/s. Can this be changed and how do i do it? I have a connection to the Internet via cable, so I wasn't sure if this was something the ISP controlled.
All help is appreciated. Incidentally the motherboard is a LAN Party UT nF3 Gb.

I think you're getting Mbits and Mbytes mixed up.
My boardband connection is 576Kbits a second (around 57Kbytes a second).
I think it's marketing as 576Kbps sounds more impressive than 57KBps.
Anywhoo, I think your Network adapter is running fine

Your transfer rate is limitted to the hardware it's connected to. If you're on a cable modem for example, that cable modem might have a 10 megabit connection to the computer.
Even when my campus installed new networking to their apartments, they limitted it to 10 megabits.
The only time I've actually seen a Gigabit connection is when I connected two boards with Gigabit networking to each other via crossover cable. If I recall correctly, I got around 860 megabit file transfers on that gigabit connection. The cool thing was that bi-directional transfers didn't slow it down very much.

I think some cable modems offer a 100 megabit connection to the computer, but why would it matter? Good cable internet packages go anywhere from 768 killobits to 3 megabits. As long as the data between the modem and the provider is maxed at 3 megabits, a 10 megabit connection from the modem to your PC is MORE than adequate.
