[QUOTE="Furetto, post: 203513, member: 12375"] If it is only for streaming, 100mbit should be plenty. If you may want to copy over large files once in a while - like copying DVD images, then Gigabit saves you a lot of time. I am unsure about the current prices, but I guess gigabit equipment is more costly than 100mbit equipment. So you could ask yourself if this extra cost is worth the few times you will really benefit from it or not. PS. Maybe you could consider [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sneakernet"]Sneakernet[/URL] as a valid alternative. Don't underestimate the bandwidth of an external harddrive being carried around.
