was wondering if you have 2 computers connected to a 100Mbps switch and you install a second 1Gbps network adaptor on both computers and connect the 1Gbps NIC's together directly with a crossover cable what happens?
how does the OS decide which network card to use and how it is used.
would the speed be combined 100+1000=1100Mbps?
can you install two 100Mbps network cards on both computers and combine them somehow to make file transfers faster? i notice when tranfering files the upload/ send speed is not even close to reaching the 100Mbps maximum of the switch.
i've seen "bridge connections" option in winXP, i think it connects multiple connections together, but does it also speed things up?
