Does this configurations improve my network performance. And Comparitevily how my increase in performance.

Answer 1

The speed is determined by your network cards. You currently have a 100 megabit (100 Mbps) switch and 100 megabit (100 Mbps) cards so putting in a gigabit (1000 Mbps) switch will not boost performance unless you use gigabit (1000 Mbps) network cards.

Answer 2

little bit but try to get network card 1GB or 1024MB (its same) that gives greater when you transferring between computers but not from the internet.

Answer 3

As long as the NIC's still are 100 Mbit/s, you shouldn't see much of an improvement, if any...

Answer 4

How many computers?  If they are all still 100mb the traffic (or will still be at 100mb!  If your server has 1000mb nic then some performance increase would be noticed.
