I've had to do a bit of reading on this myself lately. Recently several engineers at my place of employment were yakking about this and there is a lot of mis-information and misunderstanding. none of us really understood how the gigastack worked.
check out the following link: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/pd/si/casi/ca3500xl/prodlit/gbic_ds.htm to connect two switches together, or to connect multiple switches in a hub and spoke arrangement, you will get full duplex. if you stack multiple switches in a daisy chain arrangement, you will get half duplex, even if you close the loop by gigastacking the last switch back to the first. limit is 9 switches per stack.
