what does dual gigabit lan mean to me? i have this on my mobo. what is the use please give an example?

lan (local area connection) means a network jack.  Dual means you have two.  gigabit means the transfer rate is upto one gigabit per second.

My Friend.. what all my friends above told u is correct if its some other operating system....but in your case you have a XP Home Edition...which dosent support networking...even if you have a network card...it wont be able to function due to the limitation of the Home Edition.Install 98 on both the systems...or upgrade your XP home edition to XP Professional....Cheers

From the sounds of it, it could be that the two cards use different processors.  As Processor speed increases, it doesn't necessairily mean it needs a faster bus to transfer data through.  There's just different technology behind it.

You need to replace one of your routers with a switch. Two routers on a LAN causes problems with stuff like like web and mail hosting so I imagine you would see issues as well. \n\nYou could try configuring the first router to have the second router in DMZ mode but I don't think it will work.\n\nAnwyay, you need to open port TCP port 3389.

Yes you can do that IF this mainboard do support LGA CPUs\nMost of LGA Mainboards do support all LGA CPUs\n\nXLMan

That is a question which requires a hugh amount of time to answer.  You'd do better to just start searching the web for information on networking.  Also, "network" is something of an ambiguous term. Are you referring implementations of OSI?

Quad-SLI?\ni have not heard of such possable hardware \n\ni use a DFI motherboard-LanpartyNF4SLI-DR\nit supports SlI with two GPU's Is this what you ment to ask about?

No, connecting both NICs to the switch will not improve your bandwidth, assuming that you have a gigabit switch, your maximum bandwidth will be as fast as your slowest link.

All those other answers are nice, but the reality is that you need to post more information.\n\nWhat kind of computer do you have?\n    Include CPU type/speed\n    Include RAM type/speed\nThose are the basics, I am assuming you are just dealing with a normal everyday surfers problem, so I will move on, but it can get deep into the motherboard, hard drive and vid card if you are talking about intense interaction over the net.\n\nAlso include the type of connection you have Dialup, Cable, DSL or one of the others.\n\nWith that info someone might be able to guide you, with just what you gave us we are just guessing at best.\n\nJohn B.

I have found the best way is to use a hub. they are cheap and efficient. You need an ethernet card but unless your pc is old, it probably has one built into the MB.  Thanks for the question, It made me remember a question I had about my comp :)

YEP, it's built for speed and it has integrated busses to support 10Mbps/100Mbps and even 1,000Mbps Ethernet connections.  It also has an on board technology which speed up network through out in your system:\n\n Hyper-Transport Technology\n\nHyperTransport™ technology is a high-speed, low latency, point-to-point link designed to increase the communication speed between integrated circuits in computers, servers, embedded systems, and networking and telecommunications equipment up to 48 times faster than some existing technologies.\n\nHyperTransport™ technology helps reduce the number of buses in a system, which can reduce system bottlenecks and enable today's faster microprocessors to use system memory more efficiently in high-end multiprocessor systems.\n\nHyperTransport™ technology is designed to:\n\n    * Provide significantly more bandwidth than current technologies\n    * Use low-latency responses and low pin counts\n    * Maintain compatibility with legacy PC buses while being extensible to new SNA (Systems Network Architecture) buses.\n    * Appear transparent to operating systems and offer little impact on peripheral drivers.\n\nYou may have to purchase a 10/100 Ethernet PCI card but you should be all set with something off the shelf form Tiger Direct.  Call them and have on of their pre-sales techs help you get the hardware you need to get this bad boy system up and running for Internet gaming.

False - A router does not "split" the bandwidth - every port gets the full amount of whatever you have.

1. the traffic you are measuring is the one that passes through one of youre network adapters. I suspect youre adapter is 100Mbps.\n2. Second: hubs broadcast packets, unlike switches that make point to point connections. The problem is that collisions may appear and affect your tranfer. I suggest replacing the hub with a switch.\n3. In half-duplex  mode you don't use youre equipments at their maximum capacity(you either trasmit or receive).

Gigahertz is used for the frequency of the processor and Gigabytes is used for for the storage of the computer. There is no connection between the two.
