Don't get too excited about the Gigabit switch - I upgraded our home network a year ago, but found with the relatively low-end Ethernet cards I bought, I couldn't really sustain even a small percentage of that speed - and my nearly-new network is cabled with Cat5e... My work laptop (with Gigabit) and my Linkstation Gigabit server are the only devices that seem to be able to sustain a reasonable speed. Even so, it's geek-heaven to be gigabit at home!
