Right - Since my DFI Lanparty NF4 Sli-DR has 2*1Gb network connections I thought I would be clever and connect them up and create a 2Gb connection (the downstairs machine has the same so it seemed plausible.)
I have a Belkin Gigabit/125mbit wireless router that I hook my machine into via the 2 network cables. Both Local Area Connections show up as working at 1Gb, but the bridge shows at 1Gb - Am I limited by the switch? Surely with 2 connections it should be able to deal with the 2 streams of data at 1Gb each - shouldn't the Windows software then deal with creating the 2 streams of 1Gb a piece? <- That's what I thought the bridge was all about? Like binding connections in the old days?
(Is it worth sending a big file to see what it's doing?) - is there a network speed checker out there that's easy to use? (Sandra SiSoft perhaps?)
