As someone who's gone to gig networking at home I must say I didn't<br>
notice a huge improvement. (I've not got hardware that supports jumbo<br>
frames though, which I believe help a lot.)</blockquote></div><br><br>Gigabit probably doesn't do much for Myth. I doubt there are many streams that 100M can't handle. It does make things like backups significantly faster though. I also use it for general fileserver stuff, and the RAID5 over gigabit is faster than the 5400 RPM drive in my Mac Mini. It's worth it if you do a lot of network based file access. It's not uncommon for me to move a few gig at a time around, and it's nice to have the speed boost when I do. I am not using jumbo frames, not worth the bother to me as I have many 100M devices that wouldn't work with that setup. <br>
