I am sorry if this has already been posted, I couldn't find it in the search.
I have adelphia internet and both windows xp and mac. I would like to use the internet on both. If I were to get cat6 cables and a gigabit ethernet card for my windows, would I need a special router and cable modem for the best speeds. Someone I knew said they got a gigabit router, but I can't find any anywere. Could someone please tell me what kind of router I would need and if the cat6 ends(plugs) the rj45 ones are the same as for cat5. And if I would have any problems using cat5 cable to the mac and cat6 to the windows.
Thanks.
Also I am new but I will post in other places after I got my help, because this forum seems pretty good.
