Hey,
My family is just about done building our new house. I manged to somehow talk my parents into getting the entire house wired with cat5 (they went one step further and did dual coax and dual cat5...) One ethernet for phone and security sytems and one for the network.
All the wireing leads to a main closet and I am looking for a good 16 port switch to use. Would a switch that supports gigabit on all ports be worth the extra cost? What about jumbo frames? Would one with the only gigabit port being the server uplink be a better choice?
I need the ability to stream audio and video files and every now and then host games for friends (nothing long term).
Thanks
Daishi
