Setting up a server for PXE .iso deployment. Will two PCI single port NIC cards perform the same as a dual port NIC card?

Factory Factory posted:PCI? As in legacy PCI? Identical performance, assuming all of the cards involved are the same PCI version. Either PCI 1.0 NICs will saturate the entire bus for a total of 133 MB/s of throughput (1064 Gb/s, 6.4% faster than a single connection), or PCI 2.0 NICs will manage their top GbE speeds, as long as there is no other PCI card on the bus. Sorry, not legacy, PCI-E. Just need to know if I should buy two single port ethernet cards or one of the dual port ethernet cards.

Just fished an Intel Quad Core Duo out of a bad mobo, and was wondering if a generalized clone using something like Acronis would let me swap it out for the Core 2 Duo in another machine without having to re-install everything. EDIT: Actually, sysprep would probably work instead, right?

FCKGW posted:If you're just swapping a CPU then what are you planning on cloning to/from? It's for a PC I sold on Craigslist and the guy lives an hour away, but heads up this way every once in a while, so I was wanting to swap them out and get him back up and running with whatever he put on there in a few hours so I don't have to drive 2 hours again.
