| 10/100 Bottleneck?
a gb switch is not going to make sure internet connection any faster.
If you are running a 10/100 switch and you only have 8mbps internet connection, you are not bottlenecked as you still have 92mbps avail on your switch unless you are hard coding the network adapter to 10 mb, whcih if that is the case, GB wont work.
One thing to keep in mind, if you are running a MSFT operating system like 2000, XP vista, you will only get at most 250 mpbs out of that os. So there really is no sense in going to a GB switch, and also no sense doing it if you are running wireless, because the fastest speed for that is only around 100mbps. As you stated you are cheap, so why waster your money buying new GB network cards, new wireless router and new wireless cards to support this when you are not going to notice any difference. |
