It's nice that they sell cards that can transfer 100MB/s, but you really can't get too much faster than 1.5-2Mb/s no matter what you do, as your computer can only DL, translate, and write the stuff to the hard drive so fast through the relatively small bandwith within the motherboard and slow speed of IDE hard drives (which I'm going to presume that you have)




Make sure you differentiate between megabit per second(Mb/s) and megabyte per second(MB/s). The 100 mb/s card is entirely possible. I have one in my computer. Now 100 MB/s is a ways off in the future. And I can get upwards of 4 or 5 MB/s on the network at school going from my computer to my roommate's computer through the network. As to the question, I have no idea why that is happening. Are you using cat 5 cable?
