And it's cheap at about $82.00 new. It also doesn't have a fan so it's nice and quiet which is the big reason why I bought it. http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=04&kc=6W300&l =en&oc=bccwek1&s=bsd From: Matt Bullock [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2008 6:33 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Gigabit on the cheap I've had an SMC 8508T since they first came out. I read reviews saying speeds were comparable to high-end gig switches and it supports jumbo frames. I've never seen a problem with it and it's under a hundred bux. -matt From: David Lum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2008 7:49 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Gigabit on the cheap Slightly OT, but only a little. At home I have a network where my two 2K3 servers are on desktop hardware. I am using the integrated 10/100 NIC's and a cheap 10/100 switch. I'm going to move to gigabit and all I need is 5-8port gigabit switch. Going to my favorite place to shop for such stuff (pricewatch.com) I can find all manners of inexpensive gigabit switches. Are any of those cheap (<$75) switches any better than the other? I see some brands I don't recognize and I also see the usual Linksys, Netgear, SMC and 3Com stuff. For under $100 I even see some refurbished heavier duty stuff Comments?
