I have an ABIT IS7 Regular NOT the IS7-G but the 3COM chip on my board has 940-MV00 printed on it which is the same chip used on the P4C800 for Gigabit Ethernet. The IS7 Regular is not supposed to have Gigabit Ethernet though...
However, when I install the drivers off the ABIT CD, it says 3COM Gigabit NIC. Also if I use the drivers off the ABIT site (version 42) - it shows up as a 3C940 which supposedly has Gigabit functionality. (I also tried the version 44 from ASUS's site and got the same result. Could it be possible that they just somehow disabled the Gigabit ethernet function of this chip? Is there some way for me to "cheat" ABIT and get Gigabit functionality?
Also if I CAN get it, how do I know if I have Gigabit ethernet enabled? Windows Task Manager>Networking Tab says that the connection Speed is only 100Mbps...
