How fast is you network, list the type (100mbit full duplex, 10mbit half duplex, 802.11b):
On my 100mbit full duplex network i can get about 7.5 mbyte/s

Not tested the speed at any point though.
Strange that my Router says it is at 10Mb, yet the light on the front of it says 100Mb........ confusing.

Its cheaper to buy a mobo with Gigibit LAN here than it is to buy a card alone =/
Mad.
NS
true... but I have six computers in my house. :o
No, probably on just two or three of them, which means it is then more practical to purchase a switch.
Yes, I could hook up something fancy, but it would be worth more time than effort, most likely.
I have a 4 port gigabit fiber switch and four 64bit gigabit fiber cards and the whole thing cost me less then 270 bucks.
Now a 4 port gigabit copper switch costs under a $100. 5 months aga that same thing cost 350 easy.
In fact if the copper gigabit switchs has cost less 4 momths ago I wouldn't have sold the 2 copper gigabit cards to aranyic!
Remember with two computers you don't need a switch! So two copper gigabit cards is really cheap !

if i ever get cable interent (grr) i will have 100mbit throughout the house and 802.11g wireless for my lappy
LOL
it's like that when I hold my LANs... I have a 220GB rig set up for just that purpose.
it kills the entire network when someone downloads anything off it. bandwidth hog++++
heh... funny when someone yells out "OMG LAG" at a LAN
On a normal residential or small office gear, transfering files can saturate the network. Check out ebay, and look for some lucent or cisco gear. Usually, 200-500 bucks will get you a nice switch that you can really push traffic on.
Most people will see a HUGE increase in just using better equiptment. I would say take this route before going gigabit, because your not even getting 100Mbps out of most equiptment.
Also, intel and industry standard for gigabit is any device capible of sustained transfers of over 100 Mbps. So, you will see some cheap gigabit gear that will barely break 100Mbps.

and of course the entire cabinet is here: (dont mind the mess in the background thats all of the messy bastards behind us)
How much bandwidth do you have?
If my memory serves me thats 1244Mbit or 159,232 Kilobytes per second (155 Megabytes per second or so)
Network usage is low, currently during peak times it hits around 30-40% usage.
