I have seen instances where this will actually slow down the network. The network will only run as fast as the slowest device in the network. If you add faster devices they just clutter up the network, signalling that they have nothing to do. Upgrade the network as a whole. Upgrading just the network cards is pointless.

Hi all,

My manager informed me today that they are planning on changing the network card on our Windows 2000 server from a 100MB card to a 1000MB card. The server has 3 oracle databases on it (all less than 500MB). It also hosts fileshares for the client-server applications that use the databases.

What kind of things would you monitor to see the impact this has? How much of a performance gain would you expect? (I would guess the answer is "It depends").

Perhaps some of the statspack experts here could tell me what changes they might expect in the statspack reports.

Thanks,
Jeff Eberhard
