gigabit networks
Having read a bit about this now im a bit confused - some things i read say it will only work with special copper/fibre cables other say normal rg45 will work at the top speed other reports say i need gigabit certified rg45 cable

I also read on the dell website that 1000 will not work at 100/10 speeds.

So im confused and was wondering if some network guru could help me out, i only ask as i have a 100 switch and a load of desktops that use 100 and i will be replacing the desktops with dells that have 1000 nic's in them and i figured may as well get a 1000 switch then and then i hit the minefield that is 1000 networking or so it seems

Thanks in advance
