And I presume the hub have to be twice as fast as
your Ethernet cards to take advantage of it.
Most switches advertise that they can handle full duplex on all ports at
once, so it's not the switch bandwidth that's the problem. It's
whatever you're connecting to. If you try to download from another
computer with only one network card, that's all you'll get. This is
more for servers where there are multiple clients trying to get data at
the same time or for a computer that is downloading from multiple
locations at once on the local network.
