When it's a GB connection all the way out, it's quite nice. The Internet gets 'teh snappy'. Between systems on the local network it's WAY noticeable. When they built out the building we're in, the networking guys followed no known plan in allocating port speeds (the building has both 100 and 10000Mb routers.) We think they just randomly assigned them, so we had ports in our server room at 100Mb/s, and some grad student cube got a gigabit port. (We went through a hassle just getting them to switch over our office ports which were specified as Gb ports on the blueprints.) IAC, in our Poison Center I have to update a database on each of four machines every quarter; I load it from our network file server. Two of the machines are on 100Mb/s ports, two are on 1000Mb/s ports. The whole database (3 full and one partial CD images worth) takes about 3 minutes to transfer on the 1000Mb ones, and about 22 minutes on the 100's. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
