I don't, and didn't say I had to disable one for the other.
When I do something cpu intensive, such as capturing or encoding video
files, then I disable my mobo's onboard NIC. I do this so XP isn't always
checking the NIC for activity, etc., and possibly screwing with the encoding
process taking place. When I am encoding I'm using my big IDE drive which
sits on my onboard RAID controller. Hence, I enable the RAID chipset. When
I'm done with all the video stuff I then disable the onboard RAID and
reenable the onboard NIC. I guess I could leave the RAID enabled all the
time, but the NIC I definitely want off when doing video work.....eg:
capturing/encoding/etc... Thanks.
