As others have said, that depends entirely on what the desktops are doing. Forty desktops just browsing the web and reading email should be fine on a single gigabit uplink. Heck, a single 100 megabit uplink would probabbly work. Forty desktops doing motion video editing against a file server, not so much. Run a few extra UTP cables between the IDF and the MDF, and you can always add link aggregation if you need to. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
