I want to increase the throughput between my file server and my main rig. The rest of my network (AP, xbox, Smoothwall, etc) is ok staying with 100mbit speeds.
If I just grab a pair of gigabit cards and directly connect the two with a cross over while leaving the old nics connected to the switch, will I get what I'm looking for?
Essentially I just dont want to pay for a gigabit switch when only two computers need that speed.
