Topic: USB Card

My board has Gigabit Network in it also. But I assume 10/100 will stay dominant for several years to come. Because it requires replacing all hubs and routers with gigabit versions. No reason for gigabit when on highspeed  internet since your getting between only 1 to 8mbit. Plus gigabit does require a different CAT cable than CAT 5. I believe CAT5 is maxed out at 200 or 400Mbit if that. But I would love if the world was connected by gigabit everythign and gigabit highspeed at home.

Ahh but the mighty Microswamp would only write software to make even that slow down  

We'd just want more speed   >

Doesn't Gigabit work over Cat5e DualBoy? Or am I confusing it with Cat6 ?

[DualBoy]

It does work on Cat5 but not to full capacity of the gigabit network card. You need gigabit cable and gigabit hubs/routers

I think I'm going to have to do some reading-up;)

Thanks for that DualBoy

I cant remember the transfer speeds now,I had a look at this a few weeks ago. I think it said it wouldnt work with win 98 and did but with dificulty on win 98 SE, no problems on the rest.Is this the future ?
