Thanks for the info! I found this link above that deals with switches that support Jumbo Frames…Link is about 6 months old so if you want to see the Info on the new stuff you gotta do the research…I found Netgear makes an 8 port model gs608 that is avaliable from buy dot com right now for 47$ with mail in rebate… Stay clear of LinkSYS as their switch does not support Jumbo Frames…Can’t wait to build my super fast render farm YEE-HAW!

Could be due to the fact that pci bus does not have that much bandwidth paste the link above to see the science behind pci vs pci-e I like the Multi tasking on six computers though… you must have a nice rolling chair 🙂

Thank you all for your suggestions and input! I have read more and investigated your suggestions, I have come to the conclusion that pci-e is by far the best way to go…Here is an Gigabit ethernet comparison
pci=1.58 MB/s pci-x=7.09MB/s Pci Express=100MB/s
Seems strange but if you go to the intel website it is explained in great detail on thier whitepaper on the 9300 pci-e card…An even faster soulution is to pay 100$ more a card(9400) for what mike alluded to which is called load balancing recieve side scaling refered to as RSS (not the news stuff)thanks y’all and y’have a good day now y’hear, George Wingard

So you are saying that pci-e gigabit is better than the thruput of a regular Pci gigabit card…I know pci-e is supposed to have more bandwidth but when is 1000 not 1000. When it’s pci vs. pci-e? Thanks, George
