What you need to do is compare the speed of your router/switches to the 
speed your ISP gives you.  Typically, the ISP speed is the bottleneck.  
The faster router/switches can only exceed the ISP's bandwidth when 
you're going from machine to machine in your house, which may be worth 
it if you do a lot of large file transfers.

And, of course, even if you upgrade the router/switches, any particular 
system with a slower NIC won't see the benefit unless it upgrades as well.
