A year? Man, you are sooo-2003!!! <s>

Seriously, I'm pretty sure I need a new card in my server and a new hub, and
then any boxes connected to the new wire would need Cat-6-capable cards as
well.

But I don't know what cards/hubs are req'd? Gigabit cards? I'd expect that my
old cards and wire will still work with gigabit hardware, eh?
