It's possible that it will benefit, IF the source of the slowdown was the switch connection to the server being overloaded. &nbsp;You would need to check if the connection to the server was bandwidth-constrained for this to solve it. &nbsp;It may also be the case that the old switch was malfunctioning and not handling packets as fast as it could have. &nbsp;When just opening applications, you rarely hit the limits of 100Mbit networks; it's more file transfers and video that will stress the maximum capabilities.

yeah i suppose. the server has 512mb ram. that could cause it too do u think??i am putting in 2gb soon

Hi<br />
<br />
I have a customer who have speed problems. Their server has a gigabit card but the switch is crap and i want to replace it with a cisco 500 series that has 20 10/100 ports and 2 1000 ports. If i connect the server to one of the 1000 ports , will it help speed up server response times even if the pcs are connected via 10/100 ports. Will aplications on the server open quicker or does everything have to be gigabit

Gigabit ethernet

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
