If CPU overhead was the last bottleneck, that can speed up throughput.If there are other bottlenecks, it will not speed up throughput, just reduce CPU utilizaation. Server class NICs already offload the CPU, and produce standard packets. have few users that transfer large graphic files over the network, that upgrade to Gigabit Nics as well. want to add one Gigabit switch and upgrade the servers that dont have it to gigabit Nics, and connect the 10100 switches to connect users. I will be upgrading servers to Windows and adding an Exchange server to the network.
