</I>><i> As someone would say... that al depends.
</I>><i> For the speed from each computer to the intenet, you are safe. The ISP
</I>><i> speed is the limit.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> If you talk about moving files between computers inside your home, you
</I>><i> should try to keep gigabit interconnection everywhere. Some numbers:
</I>><i>
</I>><i> - i have an Linksys WRT320N at home. Raw performace measured with
</I>><i> iperf between win and linux is about 800Mbps.
</I>><i> - real performance is much worse, copying from my win server to my linux
</I>><i> box (win share mounted on linux), gives about 500 Mbps
</I>><i> - as music server, if you use mp3 even at 320 Kbps, you can serve about
</I>><i> 1500 simultaneous streams... at 100Mb, only 150 ;)
</I>><i> - if you play videos for example mounting a shared drive on clients:
</I>><i> playing an mkv HD video, that totem says is compressed about 3MBps,
</I>><i> uses a bit more, about 4Mbps (read via samba client from linux),
</I>><i> so bandwith is pretty fine even at 100Mb
</I>><i> - the only problem is when you want to copy a big file and don't want to
</I>><i> wait... that is where gigabit really pays off. Copying a 1.2 Gb file
</I>><i> took 30 secs on gigabit, that means 300 on 100Mb, so five minutes..
</I>><i> So, for usual media streaming, you are fine at 100, but for heavy file
</I>><i> movement, gigabit is worth it.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> You can leave your router alone, and get a decent giga switch for
</I>><i> about 100 euros.

Thanks for all of this and the speed comparisons, really helpful. I'll
check out the switches available here in Canada.
Cheers,
Marc
