New Core I7 Build

[Quantos]

Nice, what NIC(Network Interface Card)?

So what NIC did you incorporate into the build?

[computeruler]

Why are you so obsessed wit the NIC!?  Im going to guess that it was just the onboard lan

[Quantos]

The OP has gone into detail on everything else.

I remember my first IESA card.  Enquiring minds want to know.

[BC_Programmer]

EISA.

That was a short-lived standard. Say, remember VL-Bus? I still have a book that has a little inset that says to "wait before buying PCI or VL-Bus to see which one wins out" heh, I guess PCI won.

[Quantos]

Yes, but I could control the bus speed of EISA, I don't remember much of VL.

Anyway, I still wanna know what NIC he used.

[computeruler]

Probably the onboard one.....

What is the point of having a "NIC" If you have onboard gigabit. Even if you don't have gigabit you probably are fine because I can't think of a game that that would use that much of your bandwith. It's not like a add on card can make you any faster. you only need a ton of bandwith if you are constantly downloading things, running a server, or you are a constent torrent seeder.

I can.

[Boozu]

Ok what game?

[BC_Programmer]

gigabit is great for LAN transfers, through networked machines. for example my laptop (wireless N, 300mbps) and my desktop (100/1000) have sharing setup between them... copies go much faster then when I limit it to a 100mbps connection.

[Quantos]

Ok what game?

Anything on a WAN.  You're limited by the server.

Actually, I don't remember asking you for your opinion, I'm sure I was asking the fellow that built the computer what he used.

[Boozu]

You're limited by the server.

Ya a server. It's the server that has to have the high bandwith not you. Unless like I said, you are the one running the server.

[Quantos]

I still don't remember asking you.

[Boozu]

Yes that is true but I asked you a question and I think everyone would be happier if Cahl would just post and tell us what he is using.
