Just assumed, when you said you weren't going to get the adapters until several months later, you were talking about something expensive like this! :D | |

Why not pick up a "cheap" gig-card until you can do it properly? | |

both machines are new machines. so i will be justified in using cat6 then. | |

yeah depends how old or new the hardware is, what interface its using, how quick the clockrate on the bus is etc. | |

I'd be very worried if a relatively new hard-drive didn't transfer data above 100Mbps speeds.......one of the new Western Digital SCSi drives officially sustained a transfer speed of 72 MB/sec, which equates to 576Mbps. | |

The only thing is, if the hardware won't output at over 100mbit then its pointless going to anything over this. | |

Answer is yes you can bart. Although cat6 is really expensive unless you are going to be using it for gigabit stuff i'd not bohter and go the cat5 root. | |

CAT 6 supports 10/100 doesnt it? Although IMO its not worth it - may as well go for cat 5e :look: | |

if i put CAT 6 cable into an office, but didnt get a gigabit adapter until several months later would i still be ok to use the 10/100 card until then? |
