I understand that ISA devices have a greater interrupt latency than PCI devices. Does this greater latency deteriorate overall system performance or just the device whose interrupts are being service
ISA cards are quite a bit slower interrupting, yes. Logically, it would slow a system down because of this, but possibly not enough for you to detect with your eye (or whatever) unless it's a card t
The throughput varies by ISP and cable modem - and by time of day since you're essentially talking on a party line. The best throughput I've seen on this 3Com cable modem is 100kbytes/sec. 3Com says
