Assuming the computers are Intel & Microsoft based, there's little chance, IMHO, that you'll even over-subscribe 100M links for each device. Going Gig should be no problem. If you go with the 4006, check out this link, http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/techno/lnty/etty/ggetty/prodlit/1092_pp. htm. It's a nice document that describes the speeds and feeds of the various 4006 blades.

Cell 717-805-5536 Office 717-737-8586 FAX 717-737-0290 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Michael Williams Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 12:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Opinions on 4000 -vs- 6500 [7:48467] We are going to setup some closets in hospitals for radiology to transfer large images across. They want gig to the desktop.... If we have 20-30 computers/printers connected with Cat5E gig to a 4000 will that be too much? I'm thinking it won't overwhelm the backplane unless all devices are cranking gig at once (which I've yet to hear of a PC or printer that can actually handle Gig .....) What would be the best recommendation for Sups? Sup1, 2 or 3? We don't need L3 at that level as each 4000 would uplink (via Gig) to a 6500 for L3..... We could do 6506 in the closet for the Cat5 gig modules are expensive and only have 16 ports per blade where the 4000 modules have 48 ports of 10/100/1000 for the Cat5 and are cheaper....
