Clarification by Antony

Can I just clarify to anyone reading - PCI-E 1x cards can go in ANY PCI-E slot (1x/4x/8x/16x). The connections are identical for the similarly located pins and remember - some motherboards even have x16 slots that will only run at x8 speed anyway.

If you have a motherboard with a silly amount of PCI-E x16 slots this is a good thing as it just means you can put a PCI-E card in them of any type.

I have a crosshair V and I have a 1x USB card and a 1x FireWire card in the lower two x16 slots and they work fine.

Question  Question by lynchie

i seen the argument of the sky bb i can say im not impresed with there services
im on talk talk which is even more dangerous for us gamers

question::


im on 99 latency at the moment with wow but it dramaticly go,s up during rush hour


would this network card hugely improve gaming for world of warcraft and starcraft ?

Answer by daniele on Monday, January 9, 2012
I don't have any first hand experience of this card and personally don't see how changing your NIC will have a dramatic difference on your latency since the root of your problem isn't at your end - its the congestion on the network and the traffic-shaping and throttling performed by your ISP at peak times that is most likely causing the issue.
As I mentioned though, I have no experience with this device so you are probably better off checking out some reviews (find them here: http://goo.gl/zd7md) and then deciding from there if this card is for you.

FAO Denises question by Mark M

for the record Denise, replacing your SKY router is a breach of your contract and is not permitted. If Sky discover youve replaced their unit they will sever your sky subscription/adsl.

Skys broadband is bog standard ADSL2+ connection via the BT network under LLU (~Local Loop Unbundling)

hope this clarifies it for you.

Response by daniele
Mark is right:
When I queried Sky to see if it was possible, they told me that "Sky provides you with a router when you join Sky Broadband. We do not support the use of any other router other than the one provided by Sky. This is because to connect to the Sky broadband network, the router has an in-built user ID and password.". When I asked, neither of the two Sky reps were able to find a mention of this in the Sky T&Cs though.
So I'm guessing Sky won't even give you the username and password information to input into your new router.

I have to say I've never heard of any customer getting cut off from their internet provider for using a replacement router. That's not to say it doesn't happen but it's far more likely that, if they even noticed you were using a replacement router, they would contact you first to request that you cease using such equipment before cutting you off.

Question  hmmm... by Denise

Hi,

I was wondering if this would work with my netgear router. My router isn't that good and im not sure if i can change it because of a sky broadband package. If im aloud to change it which type "g/b/n" should i go for? im currently on a "g" type of connection but i believe "n" is the most strongest connection type.

Thanks,

Denise.

Answer by daniele on Tuesday, November 8, 2011
Hi Denise,
You can change your router from any UK internet provider, you just need to make sure you choose the correct one. There are 3 mains types (in order of popularity):
1) Internet that comes down a phone line (usually known as ADSL2+) - found here: http://goo.gl/3Zmjn
2) Internet that comes down a coaxial cable (known as DSL, most commonly Virgin Media) - found here: http://goo.gl/YtSxh
3) Internet that comes down a fibre optic (most commonly BT Infinity) - we do not currently stock fibre optic routers

I'm fairly sure that your SKY internet will be delivered to you over a phone line & microfilter combo in which case an ADSL2+ router from section 1) above should be fine.
Wireless networking technology is based on the 802.11x standard which is denoted by letter numbers, the earlier in the alphabet the letter, the slower and older that type of networking is.
Fortunately, all newer wireless hardware is backwards compatible so the newest 802.11n type routers will still work fine with 802.11g/b hardware. For this reason, it really makes no sense to go with anything but an N compatible router for futureproofings sake

Question  PCiE by RICH W

Will this fit and work correctly in a full sized PCIe slot please? As the smaller PCIe slots on the Crosshair IV board are covered by the graphics card which seems like a bad design to say they charged a fortune for the motherboards.

Answer by mohameda on Tuesday, October 18, 2011
unfortunately this device is designed to support 1x pci-e slots only
