If you have the router between LAN segments at gigabit speeds, and need to route more than 132MB/S worth of data transfer, sure, the PCI bus isn't fast enough. Why you'd need a router anywhere between computers that need to swap this much information is byond me, but your point is i guess sound. good luck finding a PC with 10 pci slots so that you can achieve gigabit speeds on 100-tx hardware ;) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
