Stack or use 2 data lines?

[greif1]

I am replacing a Hub 500 with 2 24 port 3300 switches and I could stack these (using a matrix cable) and feed the switches with the existing 100mb line (comes from another 3300) or I could keep them seperate and feed each with a 100mb line (coming from the same 3300). Seems like the 2 lins will give me better throughput, but... am I loosing something else?
Also; what kind of speed does the matrix cable actually run at?
Thanks,
gr

Not sure of the exact speed of the matrix but it will be much much quicker than two uplinks
