Hello.
Here's the scenario. We've got two computers in the same room, each connected to the same router. Both are connected via CAT 5 patch cable. Both of the cables are roughly the same length.
Now, for example. If I log into World of Warcraft on computer A, my average latency is around 100ms. Then I log off WoW on computer A and log in on computer B. My average latency is at least 40ms lower on average.
The only real difference is that computer B is using a PCI network card, whereas computer A is using the motherboards onboard gigabit LAN.
Could this difference in latency be caused by the use of the onboard LAN rather than a seperate network card? As far as I'm aware everything else is more or less identical in terms of network settings/hardware...etc
Thanks for any help in advance.
