LucifersMagician Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 Like the title says, is this any good for small-medium Lanparties (maximum like 24 people or something) ? Ups/downs? LINK HERE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 Should work fine. You could probably go cheaper. (If you wanted to) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblivescence Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 only 2 of those ports are gigabit. personally id get full gigabit, if i was spending that much. but i dont know what affect gigabit will have on lanning as opposed to 100 mbit. edit: on second thought i just took a look at full gigabit 24 port switches. dang they are expensive.

I've been looking at switches recently for work. Most advertised "gigabit" switches are just like the posted one, only 2-4 ports that actually support gigabit, the others just 10/100. To go fully gigabit would cost you an arm and a leg and not worth it to host a lan party. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
