for 8 stations and 1 server, what's the difference in costs:
hardware upgrade - switch and nic cards - ( is this just plug in, or will there
need to be some reconfiguring?)
are $40 gigabit nic cards acceptable ? and a $150 switch ?
software upgrade - Winconnext XP terminial server - is this for +6 stations ?
how much for this and is there a per user cost if it's 8 ?

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.
cheers,
Peter.
