86726	2002-10-07 04:37:00	I dont see why you shouldnt be able to? I've only every seen 100MBPS PCI cards, about 25 bucks from DSE... Why ISA?	Chilling_Silence (9)
86727	2002-10-07 04:44:00	hi, my new PC has onboard LAN, but i want to network my old PC - which only has one free slot (which is ISA)....	fergie (424)
86728	2002-10-07 04:46:00	I suspect you won't find any ... "obsolete" bus. In theory it would be held back by the bus (bandwidth only 80 Mbps) but it would be usable. Other components: CPU, disk, would mean that you wouldn't be using the Ethernet speed.	Graham L (2)
86729	2002-10-07 04:47:00	Mmmm... 10Mbps should do though... It'd just take a bit longer. Its fine for small time file-sharing and ICS, as I'm still using an old card at the mo!	Chilling_Silence (9)
86730	2002-10-07 04:48:00	Your new machine's interface might be able to drop to 10Mbps.	Graham L (2)
86731	2002-10-07 04:50:00	It should do, most do!	Chilling_Silence (9)
86732	2002-10-07 04:59:00	Yes the 3Com 3C515 can do this, however the documentation reports it is only capable of moving data at 25Mb/s due to ISA bus performance. I have used them before and they work well. There is even driver support built into 2K and XP for them.	BIFF (1)
86733	2002-10-07 04:59:00	i tried a 10mps ISA card, and started transfering a 500mb file, and it said it had 200min remianing after 10min, so i took it out (that was to slow 4 me) and thought i'd ask if u can get 100mps ISa cards.....	fergie (424)
86734	2002-10-07 05:09:00	Hmm... not a prob if u go overnight, But I've transfered about 800Megs of mp3s in about 20-30 mins (I think that's about the amount of time it took?!)	Chilling_Silence (9)
