Forgot to add: Even the standard 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet port will give you an advantage if you network more than more computer through a gigabit switch, and the computers all have gigabit ports. The benefit will be experienced on file transfers between stations.

And as others have pointed out, even the fastest cable connection, up to 4Mb/sec, won't even come close to maxing it out. Brian Conner
