The Geforce also runs networks!?!

Have a look at this:

Must have been a sudden late design change in Creative's plans for their G-Spot...

That's better than the chances of being hit by a car... and that's already happened to me, twice.

Pardon me ladies... damn * drivers

... may the farce be with you ...

Sorry, Greebe, you've lost me.....

I think it's a secret ploy by Nvidia to get into Matrox' networking market. Instead of having a separate division for networking, they stick their graphics cards inside their hubs....

nah Stevie ...

that ain't a network hub ... those are the multimonitor G-Farces for USB monitors !



I admit, you'd need a proper adapter from the regular USB to NVidia's design, but hey, it must be cool to have 16 monitors running at that ridiculous speed ...

Aiming.... BANG.... missed...

Say Steve, what's this?? A BB wanting us MURCians to join another hype-card?

Aiming .... BAA-ANG... missed... shit...

First you get us to take the G400 if not Max and now.... Aiming.... BANG.... Re-aiming... BANG... HIT !!!

So is it NVidia or Creative Labs that have 'taken over' Netgear. I know there's been a lot of consolidation in the PC field lately, but 3D graphic hubs. Just say no....Well...maybe..you see....

A Glaze3D anyone?? Yes Holly, I know, it's yours when, if, it comes out

Looks suspiciously like my 10/100 hub.

Say...

Maybe I need to go download the latest nVidia beta drivers for the GeForce, and since this hub (pseudo-hub??) is already connected to my PC, I can use both my Max and the GeForce 10/100, uhh.. 256... whatever.

LOL!

I prefer my 2+8 ports 100/10M Ether-switch...
It only costs me $64 dollars & is definitely better than that one.

[Snake-Eyes]

Where'd you find a switch for that?

It is 2 10/100M + 8 10M full duplex switch...
but only can record 32 MAC addresses.. (Anyway, it is cheap and enough for me...)

Port 9 is run at Unicast mode. It means broadcast signal won't be sent through this port, but the MAC address it records. So it also means you can connect this port to backbone switch...

I bought my one on April. And the thing which attracts me is its 2 100M Full duplex ports. You should be able to play every network game via it without any glitch, even the bad design one -- NFS 3.

I just found another one..
http://www.onsale.com/category/inv/0...1/02117993.htm

it contains 8K MAC address table...
