Greater than 100Mbps on a notebook?
Posted by Spam Averse on July 26th, 2003


Well, another year has past, so it's time to ask my annual question: What
are my options for getting greater than 100Mbps networking on a notebook
computer?

The computer in question is running WinXP Pro, and has 2 CardBus ports and a
single USB 1.1 port. There is no docking station which might be used to
add PCI cards.

Given this hardware, there are really only 2 possible solutions. Either
locate a Gigabit NIC in a PCCard form-factor, or team/bond 2 (CardBus)
100Mbps NICs into a single logical device.

Any advice on this? Thanks.

What's the througput rate for CardBus? Your limit may be there, not with the
NICs.
