No point in gigabit ethernet if your copying to/from standard IDE 7200rpm ATA100 drives..

lol Ragnor, havn't you ever heard of the 'My wang is larger than yours' theory?
I understand about the drive speed, but its neat to say to someone "Yeah, I just installed my gigabit NIC, you know 10/100/1000? Whats that, you only have a 10/100 setup? Gee, that seems a little slow..."

My mate was really peeved when I told him that, lol. I got a gigabit NIC from work as a perk a while back. Traded it for something when I saw the price of the gigabit switches. :)

obviously with a standard 7200rpm HD it wont fully utilise gigabyte ethernet but it will certainly be faster than 100mbit ethernet....

IR if you have 10/100 nics then just get a crossover cable and bypass the 10mbit hub...... guess you already moved out though? :D

i head off to work today with about 2.5Gb free on my primary partition, get home in the evening and my hd space is 0.

looks like it must have been uncapped for a vast portion of the day!

/edit:
i've always said 'god bless google' (got me this far through uni), but now i also have to say 'god bless dc++!'
