Last message on previous page: At least for CF and SD, it has limited writes (like a few thousand or something--DEF not good for something like this!!). Not to mention the limited bus speed 60MB/s is way over what you actually get from USB2, anyway).

Yeh I have cat5e cable so it should be ok. I got the gigabit network cards today...problem is when I install one on the computer i intend to use as my RAM drive windows tells me there is an "error code 31, windows cannot load the drivers for this device". Why does nothing ever work right for me?
CM_PROB_FAILED_ADD
Text that is displayed in Device Manager:
This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)
Solution button: None
Cause
This error message can occur for either of the following reasons:
a.. If the operating system calls the driver's AddDevice routine and is unsuccessful, or if the operating system fails to load a
dependent device or filter driver.
b.. After unloading a driver, Windows 2000 did not close its handles, delete its device names, and so on. From Object Manager's
perspective, this indicates that the old object/device never went away, so the system does not create a device object for a device
that reappears because of a possible object name collision.
Troubleshooting
This behavior is usually caused by an issue in the device driver. Verify that the driver you are using is digitally signed for
Windows 2000. In the second situation described above, the error message is resolved after you restart the computer. To prevent this
behavior from occurring again, obtain a Windows 2000 signed driver from the device manufacturer.
If a depedent filter driver is not able to start, you can view the device class key in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class
Locate the device type that is reporting the error 31, and the view the upper filter or lower filter entries. Make sure associated
service entries are located in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services
You can either troubleshoot the dependent service or remove the offending upper filter or lower filter entry from the class registry
entry. For example, the mouse reports an error 31, therefore, this is the mouse class entry.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96F-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
upperfilters:RegMultiSz:mouclass OffendingDriver
You can either troubleshoot why the OffendingDriver does not start, or remove the OffendingDriver entry from the upper filters, and
then restart the system.

note: this did not fix the prob the guy was having he did a full reinstall on a clean drive and the net card still didn't work...
Hey man, thanks for the help but I couldnt work out how to do that. I couldnt find any upperfilter string value under my belkin registry entry. Think im gonna have to phone the helpline tomorrow...ahhhh.
It was outsourced to india,which i wouldnt really mind accept the guy I got had quite a thick accent and "thats great" and "I just have to check with our technical specialist" waaaaay to much.
After he told me to reinstall my drivers (which I had already done 5 times) he told me there might be a problem with the card... Wow these technical support guys are sooo knowledgeable.
i imagin you have done it but you could swap the cards and see if the fault follows??
oh and its a bind but if u pull all cards out of the comp then put them all back in one at a time installing as you go that can fix conflicts (install the net card first or after the GFX card)<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by dougal on 12/11/04 09:44 AM.</EM></FONT></P>
