Very very interesting...I think we might chip in on this for our LANs. But we don't have many anymore, we're too busy.

My school is definitely going to get this, there's even been preliminary talk of it in our intranet. I don't have an opinion about myself, since our school network is already fast.

Actrully That Looks Liek A Pretty Good Price, Would really Like One, But Then Agian, Its Not Needed For Me Cuz Most Of My Friends Aren't In To Computer Gaming.

Actually, I'm going to wait for some benchmarks on Anandtech and other sites to see if this is actually worth it. If the speed increase is only 10% then it's pointless since LANs are fast as hell anyway.
