Well, part of it is Layer 10 (politics). Although I have yet to hear/read about a end device (Server/PC/printer) that can actually handle a full 1Gbps, part of the way this radiology system works is that images are transferred from a centralized storage facility to a local server, then the clients (connected to the same switch) pull the images from the server for display, so they wanted Gigabit for the clients and server so that it couldn't be said that the bottleneck is the network. As far as accessing the rest of our LAN, yeah, the bottleneck is going to be the Gig uplink from the 4006s to the 6500s in the core that building. Furthermore, if they are accessing anything (applications/data) from our main data center, the WAN (100Mbps) would be the bottleneck. So it really just depends on what the end client is accessing to determine where the bottleneck is.... and with Gig the the desktop (which again, I haven't seen/heard/read about a PC and/or server that can truly drive Gigabit to the full 1Gbps), we know the network won't be the bottleneck for these clients pulling and viewing images from their local server.
