    Anyone try gigabit PCI Express?

    if hes streaming a video to 5 computers maybe in either case I point to my first statment ^^ "If you plan on having a raid set up, or something heavy, go for the pci-e card, if anything to save space in the case."

    Anyone try gigabit PCI Express?

    right, thats why I said he would not notice :P a normal pci card will allow the same speed (for the sake of argument we are not penny pinching bits here) just not in full duplex. the network will not move over 100megs/sec and the hard drives will most likely cough at half that. so unless...

    Anyone try gigabit PCI Express?

    It will be nothing you will notice atm. It all depends on how your system is set up: If you only have 7200 rpm drives it wont matter if your using a pci card or a pci-e card. Your hard drive will be the limiting factor long before the bus is. Unless you have other pci devices in the same...

    What is needed for a wired home network?

    as others said. it's not needed. but using one makes it look much more clean. It's far more easy to manage (you can mark the rooms and number the wires on the pannel, without having to tape up and lable all the wires them selves). You can connect 2 rooms togeather directly. And the...

    a 16 port switch minimum for a house, once you figure your going to be running as least 2 jacks per room, and probley at least 4 in a living room it adds up quick. a decent 16 port rack mount switch will run 100 bucks give or take, router is 100 to 200 depending on what you wanna spend...

    Trying to hook up Xbox 360 using two wireless routers. Can it be done?

    bridge hook it up just like your thinking. have the router hooked the to xbox on its own network then bridge the 2 togeather. both the routers should allow for this. if only one does, just hook that router to your box and bridge it to a wireless network card on one of your computers, and...

    Network monitoring

    could use Iris to see who was DL/ULing the most if you control the router, or use a hub on your network. tho this might be a bit overkill seeing as how it can also capture and reconstruct all the trafic. Just about any network monitor/packet analizer can see what kind of info is being transmited...

    Copying security settings

    buy the new server, add is at a member server to your domain. Then back up the old server and restore it to the new one. Your client info should be handled by active directory, and the security settings by the GPO . All you should need to copy is the files and permissions. course I do not...
