[quote][i]Originally posted by Bart[/i] Cosmo, what sort of thing will the PCs be doing? If its just surfing the net, word documents and such then stick with nice and easy Cat5e. If its going to be heavy file transfer (between PCs) and big bandwidth stuff, then go for Cat6. You will only really notice the difference when passing 1gb+ around your network. Not only that, but you will need to get cat6 crimps, wall sockets which is a PITA. Cat6 is quite a bit thicker than cat5e and dont tend to go in 'run of the mill' network boxes so easily. You can buy a 10/16 port netgear switch nice and cheap from somewhere like ebuyer. Its fairly easy to do yourself, but as Willay said, a cable test is a must, you can get cheap ones from ebay for a few quid. [Edited on 25-11-2008 by Bart] [/quote]
