No, they will most likely see a difference, but there are a couple factors
to consider.
Does everybody go to a single server or are your resources spread around?
The reason I ask is you could bog down the server. A simple solution to that
would be install another NIC in the server at 100 Full-duplex and set the
switch or the NICS (in the case of Compaq NICS) to load balance between the
2.
How big is your environment and what is the utilization on the resource
links?
If your resource links have low utilization then you should be fine.
The Cisco courses and books sometimes assume that everyone has a very large
number of users hitting a few (or large) resources. In most small and medium
environments it is o.k. to set things to 100mbps. Even in large environments
if you know how your resources are used and the utilization, it is o.k.
Cisco's point is that if you had 2 or 3 Resources and 500 users you would
not want to set everything to 100 or yes, the links to the servers would get
bogged and your throughput to the users would not be very good and would
probably be worse then the users running at 10 and resources at 100.

Subject: 10 vs 100
Hey all,
At work we have user complain that there network card is only a 10 mbps.
They all want 100's.
I know that in the CCDA book they show to use 10 MBPS on the distribution
layer (end user). I try to explain to the users that if you ran to 100, you
would never see the difference. You just have a greater change of packet
corruption. Am I right?
What about a mixed 10 and 100? That's what we have.
