Hi There!
I want to upgrade the network at my house, currently 100Mbps to 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet.
I need to buy a new switch but I have 2 questions:
- Can cat5 cabling do the job or do I need cat6?
- All the Gigabit NIC's I've seen have 64bit PCI interface. I don't have 64bit pci's in my motherboard. What am I suppose to do?
Just want to have those 2 things cleare before buying the wrong stuff.
