The pipeline >burst cache also makes a tremendous difference, BTW... But not if you are unfortunate enough to have your Triton chipset installed in an Intel Zappa motherboard.... With the SMC card set to 100Mb/sec, so many packets get dropped that the throughput is less than 10Mb/sec. When set to 10Mb/sec mode they work normally.
