I beg to differ, *modern* hardware can easily handle and fill 1Gpbs networks, For normal LAN connections that wouldn't even need high end hardware, normal machines can handle it quite well and benefit from it. If you intend to have the storage in one machine and view a movie on another having 1Gbps network would help. It's not critical but it will help. The hardware can also handle 1Gbps for WAN connections, but the software implementation is lacking for that. I'm working on that and will have a fix for Linux in a couple of months. But I doubt it will really matter to you :-) If I was doing such an installation now I'd for the 1Gbps network.
