He need speed
So he need to upgrade to 1000mbps LAN Connection

His PC's Config is
Intel P4 (2.8 & 3.0), Intel 845, 865 & 102DC Board, 512 & 1GB RAM, 80-160GB HDD, 17" CRT & LCD Monitor & onboard LAN

I don't know the cost but i think an addtional Gb LAN Card would be needed. Standard Lan cards are 10/100. Most mobos have 10/100.
