Hi Steve. I have 10/100 cards in my 7500 and 9600, connected via a 10/100 D-Link switch. The switch has indicator lights for each port as to which is being used: green for 100, amber for 10. I timed file transfers and the TBase100 is only 50% faster than the built-in TBase10 on my machines. -+-+-+- RPM -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
