The maximum transfer rate of your E/net card is 100Mb/sec. This is actually fairly slow given that most E/net cards are capable of a Gb/sec. On the PC side of the card, the maximum data transfer rate is 100Mb/sec but may be limited by the bus speed to which it is attached. On the network side of the card, the limit is set by your cable modem or DSL dataset. That is a different and much smaller number. It relates to the speed at which you communicate with the outside world. Sites such as speedtest.net give you a measure of your approximate maximum upload (from your PC to the Net) and maximum download (from the net to your PC) speeds. Usually Uploads are a small fraction of download speeds. On my PC, I have a Gb E/net card, 15mbps download and about 600Kb upload speeds. The latter 2 speeds are my limiting factors when using the Internet.
