Ok, Quick Question:
I have a K62-266 running XP Pro/256MB/190GB/10-100PCI-Nic/ATA133-Raid-PCI
Would I get better tranfer rates from/to the drives if I used a ISA 10/100 Nic? Thus not saturating the PCI bus?
I know there is a 66MHZ bus for the PCI and I am using approx 33Mbps for the NIC off the network and 33Mbps for the IDE controller to store the data. Would changing to an ISA nic help to divert some of the load off the PCI bus?
All in all, I'm trying to avoid spending more money to build a machine that is faster than my main box, just for it to sit and eat data...
Suggestions?
