Hello,

I was thinking of purchasing the following 8 port GigaBit switch from overclockers and have a quick question regarding it's setup:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-012-TP&groupid=46&catid=1626&subcat=

The current setup is a 24 port 100mb switch that is then connected to a 100mb ADSL router.

What I'm wanting to do is connect 3 of our development computers off this switch and onto the GigaBit port in order to have a higher rate of transfer between these machines only.

My question is, will it connect at 1000mb between these machines when the main 100mb Router is assigning there IP's?

Other option is to buy a Gigabit router, but there are increased costs in this compared to a dedicated switch.

Thanks
 
It is, small company and costs are an issue as usual. Con's and Pro's of this switch compared to the more expansive equivalents?
