[G4] How good is Gigabit Ethernet (on a G4 GE)?

[Harry Freeman]

Greetings ( + )!( + )

Sure, your Gigabit platform is rated at 10/100/1000 Base-T (RJ-45) 
connection, so moving to a gigabit router/switch will increase you 
transfer of data between the machines by a factor of 10.

So if you do a lot of large file transfers the you will cut down on the 
time required to complete the job.

However if you don't do a lot of "Large" file transfers then it's just 
something to satisfy your curiosity.
