Windows XP says I have a 400Mbps connection on the network.
that's around 40MB (Mega Bytes) Per Second.
BTW, in the first post.. i ment 10MB (Mega Bytes) Per Second, not 10Mbps (Mega Bits Per Second).. that's slow as sh*t if I had that speed.
For instance.. I have an internet connection that's 1500-3000Mbps, it downloads from 300-500kb/s. and yes, I've gotten a 480-500kb/s download a few times.. pretty sweet

3000 kbps is actually 375 kBps
what i wanna know is what if you had two pcs, each with 5 1000mbps ethernet cards and linked them together with crossover cables

hmm, well i think pci express allows only 133mb/s through the pci bus...no? and that is with all pci cards combined, no?
so basically only one would be useful, rest are bottlenecked. not to mention all the driveers uyou would need to be running to ahve all those cards+combine them.

how come I get atleast 400kb/s alot?
heh, isp must be giving more than described.. sweet
and I beilieve pcs dont act too well with more than one NIC card.
I have tried with both 2 NICs and a different computer with an Onboard NIC-n-PCI Nic Card. Both Systems booted up into windows, but eventually just froze without any recovery. When I took the extra NICs out, they didnt freeze.. never that bad! heh, hardware problems cause drastic things to happen like that mostly.

Pcs can work fine with two network cards (I set my friend's computer up like that, maybe you had a driver problem?) But yes, 400Mbps.... thats firewire (1394) not ethernet.
