I was referring to gig switches as well. But remember, if you are all trying to download a large file/game from one PC - even over gig ethernet, it will still run as slow as the maximum transfer rate of the hard drive in the hosting PC. And if you have 20+ PC's doing it at the same time expect the rates to only be a few MBps.
