Gigabit MythsWhy buy Gigabit to desktop?

• Myth 1 Gigabit is too expensive for desktop
  connections
• Not any more. Lower Gigabit prices mean you can
• Prepare a LAN today for future higher bandwidth
  needs (esp. graphics) without worrying about
  forklift upgrades in the future
• Get more bandwidth per dollar compared to 10/100
  technology
• Myth 2 No-one needs Gigabit to the desk anyway
• PCs and servers increasingly ship with Gigabit
  ports, so be prepared!
• Myth 3 The PC is a bandwidth bottleneck
• PCs today operate at least 5x faster than
  100-Mbps
• You may not need full Gigabit bandwidth but could
  easily use more than 100-Mbps
• Myth 4 Upgrading is difficult
• Todays tri-band switches work with older
  desktops, easing integration
• Unmanaged switches are plug-and-play, managed
  switches have intelligent defaults to make
  upgrading hassle free.
