Gigabit Ethernet is now highly affordable, even in small and home offices. Although it won't speed up your Internet connection, the time taken to transfer large files can easily be halved, with potential for more acceleration when PCs are upgraded.

Trust us, gigabit Ethernet is worth having, given today's low prices. We asked D-Link, Linksys and Netgear -- all keen participants in this new market -- to send us a 10/100/1000Mbps switch and a pair of cards for review. D-Link was unfortunately unable to supply cards in time, citing product popularity as the reason. Linksys was also unable to supply 32-bit cards in time, so we looked at the 64-bit equivalents instead.
