Have given up on that idea, for now I am just changing my old 10/100 hub to a 10/100/1000 switch, this will allow the PCs with Gigabit controllers to use high speed access.
I probably don't really need a router anyway, will continue using a second NIC in one of the PCs for the internet gateway. I needed some routing last year when I was doing some streaming from a laptop, there was no way to port forward the incoming http calls due to the limitations of the XP firewall. I am not streaming anymore so the problem has gone away.
I'm sure nobody is interested in this but thought I would throw it in to close off my post in the thread.
