I have a question about a network setup issue. My uncle is building a new
house, and I'll be setting up a nice myth setup for him. I have a Cisco 1900
series 24 port switch. The switch has 24 10Mbit ports and 1 100 Mbit port.
I'm just wondering if the 10 Mbit speed would be enough to run 3 or 4
frontends if the backend was on the 100 Mbit port. I know straight number
wise, since 10 Mbit is fast enough, that you should be able to put 10 ports
against the 1 100 Mbit one, but if there's one thing i've learned in 5 years
as a CS major, it's that the numbers in computing (especially when talking
about the retail side of things) are skewed in favor of looking better than
it is...

Hi,
I just bought a cheap Netgear 5 port 100Mb switch for <$20 @ Frys.
Why bother with the old stuff? You don't need a 24-port switch for 3-4
frontends. You need the little guy I bought.
Just a thought.
cheers,
Mark
