Hi Folks,
I'm thinking of upgrading our home office to gigabit LAN. A couple of
the new machines (IS7g and Asus A7V600) have it built on the
motherboards, but we've also got some old but very reliable BE6 and BM6
machines that we still use. The BM6 with an 800MHz Celeron (via adapter)
in particular has become the general purpose file server (have a promise
UDMA100 RAID controller in there).
My question is, if I stick a PCI gigabit card in the old machines, are
there going to be any bottlenecks anywhere that would make the data
throughput substantially slower via these compared with going via one of
the newer ones.
TIA
Gareth.
