What NIC do you use in your win-box ?


My computers...

Server:
CPU:	Pentium 133
MEM:	192 MB
OS:	NetBSD-1.5.2
NIC:	RealTek 100Mbit (rtk-driver)

Client:
CPU:	AMD Athlon/T-bird 800
MEM:	512 MB
OS:	Windows XP
NIC:	Intel Pro/100+	(fxp-driver)


In my case I beleve the speedlimiter is the RealTek NIC because RealTek
based NIC's aren't that good. But when transfering two files at the same
time I recall some speed increase. .
