Hi,

If you read my other recent post you already know my situation. If not, the long and short of it is:

I am setting up a server (SBS 2003) for a friend's sign company. They work with large image files and will be storing them on the server. They are going to need Gigabit speeds since they will be working with the files off of the server so frequently. This being the case...

The setup will be

Modem -> Router -> Server -> Switch -> Workstations

Now. My question is, do I need a gigabit router? If I get a gigabit switch, will I be transferring files between the server and workstations at 1000Mbps? Or do I need a gigabit Router as well? It seems to me it is out of the "loop" and will be handling the internet connection (which obviously doesn't need gigabit speeds), but I'm not sure if the info goes through the router as well.

If I do need a gigabit router, can anyone recommend one? Nothing too expensive though I was looking at Linksys's Business Line gigabit switches, but they don't have any gigabit routers. This is what made me question if I need it or not.

Thanks.
