I just replaced my old 100 mbs home network with Gagibit and it is fast. Now I can store movies and a bunch of content on the other PC use it almost as fast as having right my normal hard drive.
100 mbs was way to slow for that and even though I love my external drives for backups they're too slow to use for every day work.
2 NICs at $29.00
1 Cat 6 X-Over Cable $24.00
Total price for connecting these computer was $82 and I'll save plenty of time moving stuff around.
If you have a spare computer with some disk space think about Gigabit becasue it ROCKS!
