Hi All:

we recently purchased a new Dell server that came with Gigabyte NIC, if we have a ethernet switch with gigabyte uplink port, even if everybody's PC still has 10/100 NIC, will this still provide people with faster access ??


thanks
 
faster access to the server; yes.

The maximum any individual can transfer willl still be 10/100 (the client's speed) but if more that one PC is accessing the server, they'll be contending 1000 Mbps.

10 people can access this server simultaneously without experiencing network slowdown.

<marc> i wonder what will happen if i press this...[pc][ul][li]please give feedback on what works / what doesn't[/li][li]need some help? how to get a better answer: faq581-3339[/li][/ul]
