Ok everyone I need some help here—a lot of the laptops that are out on the market have Megabit ethernet (10/100) but do not have Gigabit ethernet (10/100/1000).  My college recommends that I have Gigabit ethernet, but am I really going to notice the difference?  Do I really need to spend the extra money just for Gigabit ethernet?

to tell the truth i cant see much more getting done with it

I would suggest you to save your hard earned money.Unless you have a Gigabit 1000Mbps internet connection, it doesn’t matter if you use a 10/100 or a 10/100/1000.You will get the same result unless you can upgrade to a Gigabit internet connection from the ISP.

well I learned something here at first I didnt know what you guys were talking about. But from reading the comments I learned that I could use a megabit 10/100 I will keep this in mind just in case anyone ever asks me.
