Testing Gigabit Network Adapters on platform TYAN Trinity GC-SL. Part Two: 64bit Review
Posted on Friday, July 30 2004 @ 16:05:25 CEST by LSDsmurf
Unlike 32-bit PCI buses, which can be found in all current x86
computers, 64-bit PCI buses are still a prerogative of servers and
professional workstations. The bottleneck of a gigabit network adapter
operating on a 32bit bus is the bus. In case of 64bit, it's the
adapter. In fact, the CSA bus from Intel (reviewed below) solves the
"bottleneck" problem of the bus with gigabit network adapters
installed on common computers, but not all mainboards have CSA and it
is used only for integrated adapters.
