gigabit routers are thousands of dollars & unless you have something much faster than a standard dsl/cable broadband package, the extra bandwidth will never be realized.

a cheaper alternative would be a standard ethernet-100 router w/a gigabit switch connected to it.

Cool, thanks very much.
Recommend ant particular kind. I'm getting ready to go to fry's
(or newegg or zipzoomfly)

i kinda like the netgear stuff for budget buyers.

they make a 5 port gigabit switch for $110.

newegg is one of my favorite sites to buy from (and i don't trust too many).

That is where i have bought almost everything except the memory.
i got it a zipzoomfly
oh yea ZZF has taken 6 days so far for their "free 2nd day air"
