Hi,
I have 3 systems. I would like to connect PC 1 to PC 2 & 3 .But not between 2 & 3. ie. 3 & 2 must be connected to PC 1. I want gigabit connection between them. The purpose is realtime streaming of audio from PC 2 & PC 3 to PC 1. The only data that goes fom PC 1 to 2 & 3 is MIDI information and automation. The problem now is that I'm having dropouts in audio, and bandwidth limitation.
Could someone Plz tell me whether using a dual port PCI-e lan card on PC 1 and single port card on PCs 2 & 3 or using a gigabit switch would be better. Also Plz advice on how to configure the ports for this type of a connection ( if possible that is ). Does using dedicated network cards with on-board processors and ram take all the networking load off the system's cpu and ram.
Among LAN cards I"ve been considering these two ( Supermicro AOC-SG-i2 & Startech.com ST1000SPEX /OR/ Startech.com ST1000SPEX & ST1000SPEXDP )
