Desktop with 1gb connection

Hi Guys

I just had a meeting with someone. i am a IT technician support primary schools

He goes all workstations should have 100mb link and the switches that are currently 1gb should stay 1gb.

Shouldn't the workstation be 1gb as well??

he went as the machines are 1gb, the network goes slow with that and to speed it up you need 100mb :S

can someone guide me please?

thanks in advance

 

thats what i thought, but this bloke said no it has to be 100mb and not 1gb!! he made me go round all school changing network card setting to 100mb

 

Brilliant!

Sounds like the guy I installed an IP phone system for yesterday and didn't want it on his network or the internet!
