631830 2008-01-19 17:13:00 I don't think there is any bottleneck in the actual card...unless it is very old and slow..but reading between the lines, what you have described is NOT a card/performance problem.

It is likely more possible that you will be or are currently suffering the speed and capacity of your ISP limits.

Maybe somewhere, there is an ISP that can totally suck the whole performance outta your card and truly give you the speeds and connections that the card is designed for...but I've not seen it yet.

Again..there MAY be some...like where I don't know..but I truly doubt you'd see any difference in swapping cards for better/more speed or bit flow.

PS: Not too sure that this could or would be a RAM issue either..I could be mistaken there, but I don't see it that way. Then again...I don't game..but I DO send/receive a lot of online (read: HUGE, 6 Gig+) files all the time and I've never had the card max-out. I think the wires get a little warm..but the 3Com EtherLink XL10/100 PCI card stays cool.

Corrections will arrive quickly if I am wrong there.

Me neither...I never really bothered with those numbers and just figgered they were for silly information-seekers only.
