2 computers connected using crossover cable.makes pc slows down..?

I have 2 pcs. PC1 and PC2...I had noticed that the computers slows down when using the connection...

Example:..

I am installing a game in PC2 where the file is from PC1..(using file sharing)

when Installing the game.. I had noticed that PC1 slows down...

when installtion is done in PC2....PC1 turns back to normal!!

wat do u think!!is it the pC or the connection makes PC1 slows down..

This is simply because PC1 is having to provide data from the hard drive to PC2 as well as for its own operation. No doubt (regardless of partitions) the data is on the primary hard drive in PC1.

The computer is effectively doing the work for 2 computers and it is perfectly normal to have the system slow down.
