Using PCI Network Card on Asus M3A78

[rheaun]

On this motherboard, according to the manual, the onboard Lan is shared ressources with the PCI Express slot. As in when running Modern Warfare2 Multiplayer, both Video Card on PCIE slot and Onboard Network card are 'competing' for ressources? So adding a PCI Network card would free up ressources for the Video Card?

uh... no. if it is as you describe, it does not matter, since the recources that the network needs are so little, you wont notice. the chip is built to do both at the same time anyways.

further, MW2 is not demanding, so dont worry,

even further, why are you playing MW2? haven't you heard it's rubbish?
