actually it's 4-6MBps so I guess that'd be 32-48mbps. I don't appear to
have any collisions at all(so sayeth my router). There are only two
computers on the network so I wouldn't expect _too_ many of them.

My computer setup is as follows
Computer 1
A7N8X-X Deluxe
1 GB Ram
Athlon 2100+
Fedora FC4
1 100Mbs Ethernet Port
1 1000Mbs Ethernet Port
2 Firewire (480) ports

Computer 2
A7N8X Deluxe
1 GB Ram
Athlon Sepron 3000+
XP
2 100Mbs Ethernet Port
2 Firewire (480) ports

1 Linksys 10/100 router.
