Question to an PC expert.
Will the system on a PC suffer from networkcarts .I mean will the PCI bandwith
be reduced or will it reduce performance otherwise?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, i have 2 network cards in my PC, one with access to internet and 1 connected to LAN... When i do audio, i deactivate both, but this do not make a lot of difference. They do not use alot of PCI bandwidth. They steal cycle thou when connected, so this is why i deactivate then while playing.

you could give your network cards lower buffer. Longer buffers hog the PCI bus more. Check device settings in Win Device Manager.
