Currently I have my house wired up with Cat5e and will be soon buying a NAS that will be gigabit enabled. I have a gigabit switch.
To enable gigabit speeds transferring from the PC to my NAS, the PC network card needs to be gigabit, right?
I built the PC myself, with very little knowledge of how to do so (received help online), so even if opened it back up, I probably couldn't point straight away to the network card, let alone know if it's gigabit or not.
I found a link explaining how to check. I ran ncpa.cpl, then clicked on properties of my connection, then configure, then adavnced, and clicked on an entry named speed & duplex. All I could see in the value box was 10 and 100 Mbps.
Does this mean it is not a gigabit network card and will need replacing?
