Using Linq-To-SQL classes as DataContract in WCF

Coming accross a nice tutorial from Jesse Liberty

He describes the trick to get the Link-To-SQL data classes generated to be consumed as DataContract. In his document he points out that you need to set the Serialization Mode property of the dbml surface to Unidirectional.

Common Buses and their Max Bandwidth

Nice article from: http://networking.ringofsaturn.com/PC/pciexpress.php

Bandwidth
PCI Express in all it's flavors: 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x and 32x all have much greater bandwidth than basic PCI.

Common Buses and their Max Bandwidth
PCI 132 MB/s
AGP 8X 2,100 MB/s
PCI Express 1x 250 [500]* MB/s
PCI Express 2x 500 [1000]* MB/s
PCI Express 4x 1000 [2000]* MB/s
PCI Express 8x 2000 [4000]* MB/s
PCI Express 16x 4000 [8000]* MB/s
PCI Express 32x 8000 [16000]* MB/s
IDE (ATA100) 100 MB/s
IDE (ATA133) 133 MB/s
SATA 150 MB/s
Gigabit Ethernet 125 MB/s
IEEE1394B [Firewire] 100 MB/s
