I would like to add a daul port nic to my system.
I've got an Gen. 2 pcie 1x slot and thought of buying the hp NC360T and adapting (dremel+cutting wheel) the 4x connector to 1x.
But I'm not certain if I would create a bottle neck.
The NC360T is Gen.1 4x card so it has a theoretical throughput of 1000MB/s. If I were to fit it to a Gen.2 1x slot it would have a max throughput of 250MB/s.
Now here my question how much throughput do 2 full duplex gigabit ethernet connections require? (1MByte=1MB=8Mb=8Mbit)
1) 2*1000Mbits=2000Mbits=250MB/s
or
2) 2*(1000Mbits up +1000Mbits down)=4000Mbit=500MB/s
I just want be be sure but I think I would create a bottleneck
Thanks for the help
