I think 100mbs only available eisa or pci.<br />
<br />
I have 486/66 486/100 an p166 and they ALL seem to be improved<br />
with 100mbs cards. &nbsp;I'm not sure if this is because of the speed<br />
or because we moved from 10mbs coax to 100mbs switches and reduced collisions<br />

This is a networking question, but it has more to do with hardware (so I don't think the question belongs in the networking section). &nbsp;If one has a network of 5 PCs, all of them 486DXs, would one see a significant improvement in running 100 megabit per second Ethernet versus 10MBPS? &nbsp;Or would the 486 processors be a bottleneck and therefore it wouldn't matter whether one ran 100MBPS or 10MBPS?

This is a networking question, but it has more to do with hardware (so I don't think the question belongs in the networking section).  If one has a network of 5 PCs, all of them 486DXs, would one see a significant improvement in running 100 megabit per second Ethernet versus 10MBPS?  Or would the 486 processors be a bottleneck and therefore it wouldn't matter whether one ran 100MBPS or 10MBPS?

Is there an advantage to 100MBPS Ethernet?

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

Hardware

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
