Kinda off topic but this does involve Red Hat 7.2 workstations. Our company is moving into a new building with a full gigabit network all the way to the desktops. (cat 60 throughout) We are now arguing over whether to spend the money to put gig NIC's in everyone's PC.s I was always under the impression that a simple single-PCI bus workstation couldn't possibly process 1 gigabit of data. Doesn't a single channel PCI bus peg at 132 MB/s? (this is all traffic conclusive, not merely traffic from the ethernet slot alone)
This is an enormous cost as well. We do work with large amounts of data. Just wanted to get some other opinions. All our servers are gigabit plus they all have dedicate switch ports. That makes sense, but a run of the mill Compaq workstation?
