    I use the GA311 nics and the 5 port gigaswitch from netgear and they work great. I wired my whole house with CAT5e and all the NICs connect at 1000mbps - the connections max out though at around 300mbps sustained but that's still a vast improvemnt over 100mbps networks. I can stream video to both of my daughters pc's at the same time from my server with no problems at all.

    @killie99: a limitation of your system rather than the network.

    Yep, was getting around 230 with a single drive and changed to raid using 2 x 120Gb drives and got up to the 300 mark. Think it'll be a good few years before the network is the bottleneck.
