[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 978040, member: 24098"] Keep in mind that Gigabit NICs in consumer-grade equipment can transfer [I]up to[/I] 1Gb/s. In reality, that will almost never happen. It will certainly exceed 100Mb/s, but it will never be near 1000Mb/s, mostly due to limitations in the hardware of your PCs (and Macs), the quality of cabling, switches, etc. Gigabit networking (especially over copper with consumer grade hardware) is a pipe dream mostly. Now, if we're using enterprise class infrastructure with servers, that's a different story. [/QUOTE]
