usb is designed to be shared supposedbly, its more legacy stuff that doesnt like sharing.

Nothing wrong with 2 nics but not good when they share with each other, did you just skim my post or read it.

*sigh*

I have told you 3 times now, windows cannot change irq values and you keep trying to change it in the control panel.

I am sorry I wont offer any more advice as it isnt been taken in.

its not a fault you cannot change the irq its design.

To be honest, your replies are so rude and terse, I don't think I'll bother reading them at all. Since you seem to know everything, I don't know why you bother asking anything.

Steady on, Chrysalis isn't terse and rude. He's just giving his opinion. Opinions on the Internet have to be taken with a pinch of salt. You make of them what you will. I'm sure Chrysalis was only trying to help.

He's right.

v5 is a superior chipset v6 was focused on cost savings


I would be interested to learn more about this, have you any links to tests or articles

Thanks

performance wise I think they the same but v5 just runs cooler.

Dont know of any spec sheets for the chipsets sorry.

I have just bought a 546i v6 it seems to work ok except for the problem that started this thread but after looking through all the menus cannot find an option to upgrade the firmware. The only option seems to be via the cd. They say the software is digitally encrypted for your benifit but seems more like DRM at its worst. Unless I can find a way via telnet to upgrade it will be going back as I use Linux and the cd is Windows (tm) so just a coaster.

their is a seperate tool for flashing.

sometimes the firmware is the tool and its just like running an installer.
