IMHO, I already have better hardware, but its a fair distance away from where I have my computers. To do the test, I would have to buy a rather long adapter cable (>~100ft). The cable would be carrying analog signal. Analog signals degrade on long cable runs, particularly the high freq. part of the signal. I think the test would only show me something that I already know.
