Yes, a guaranteed performance increase by increasing the speed of
your network, unless your server is so slow or you have so many
clients that there is a bottleneck narrower than the network - unlikely.
Bear in mind that by adding PCI gigabit network cards you are
constrained by the PCI bus and they are slower than on-board gigabit
cards.
We usually address this speed problem by installing a dedicated to
MD2 Winconnect XP Terminal Server, which operates at disk speed -
many times faster than a gigabit networked client / server operation.

Peter.
