100Mbps and max bandwith
This is a discussion about 100Mbps and max bandwith in the Windows Networking category; I wanna run a LAN with 2 or more computer and wanna know what is the best bandwith I can reach between 2 computers ? I mean, can I ever dream have more than 80% of the 100 Mbps written on my card. My hardware : - LAN Card : 3Com 10/100 PCI 3C905BTX 10/100 Mbps (already reached 40 Mbps) - LAN switch : NetGear FS 108 ...
I wanna run a LAN with 2 or more computer and wanna know what is the best bandwith I can reach between 2 computers ?
I mean, can I ever dream have more than 80% of the 100 Mbps written on my card.
My hardware :
- LAN Card : 3Com 10/100 PCI 3C905BTX
10/100 Mbps (already reached 40 Mbps)
- LAN switch : NetGear FS 108
10/100 Mpbs (8 ports)
I wanna have a 80 Mbps network (HQ multimedia streaming). Is it possible ?

This depeand on the system it self,
For starter you need a very Super Fast SCSI on both PC with a "64bit RAID".
Sound like you go fast IDE.

Good question...
What r u using to test your bandwidth? I've been using a little utility called NetCps, but I don't know if it is reliable or not. It reports 65Mb xfers for me between a Win2k and 98se machine with Dlink Nics and a Netgear FE104 (4pt version of yours).
I have found various things to affect transfer rate... CAT5 running by Flourescent lighting, etc.

1 - 100 Mbps = 12,5 MBps so my U2W is enough
2 - the video is transmitted uncompressed so I do not need a good HD.
I'm writing a appz to mix in RealTime video with music. Video is uncompressed and filtered on "client" machines, than send through the network to a "server" machine that mix and display the final movie (one machine can not uncompress 3 or more videos, filter them and mix them in RT).
So I don't need fast HD but a HIGH bandwith (100 Mbps is enough for 3 stream of 320x240x16bits uncompress)

I'm using Network Spy 1.6 : a sniffer .
Both machine have 3Com 905 Fast. "Clients" are PII 400@448-256 MB or PIII 450-128 MB and "Serveur" is biPIII450-256 MB. All machine with U2W LVD disks (18.2 or 9.1 Go) with Tekram or Adaptec card.
Only low-end machine so ...
