    The only problem with it (that I see anyway) is that is uses your CPU & PCI Bus... thus taking away some speed from your games... might be okay in a dedicated server though.

    It says that it doesn't take much of your cpu... I would think that it wouldn't effect most gamer's rigs...

    I just never trust anything that uses your CPU when I possibly couldn't... think "WinModem"

    hehe, fair enough. If a friend and I hadn't already bought an 8-port switch for the same price at CompUSSR, I'd be considering it. :)

    Well, if you're always on the go to LANs and such, a switch would be one less item to worry about. I suppose that would make up for its use of the CPU and PCI bus.

    Our switch is pretty darn small. About the size of that card, and 1-1 1/2cm thick. My cat5 takes up more space.

    Heh, problem = we both paid for it (50/50 deal) so an internal rig would kind of set things off... Since putting 8 RJ-45 jacks into a 3.5" bay would be interesting to say the least.

    Kill your friend and then take sole possession of it. I'm an idea man, that is what I do.


    What kind of switch is it?


    The card would be great in a server, An all in one deal. Stack them in every available slot. Easier than wheeling racks of equipment about.


    EDIT:


    Another dealer
