Hello lists,

I need advice on my client existing LAN setup.

                                    Dlink Internet Server
                                             |
                                             |
                                             |
Main PC  --------------------------   10/100 Switch
                                         |       |
                                         |       |
                                         |       |
                                      HUB A     HUB B
                                         |       |
                                      8 PCs      7 PCs

Hardware spec : Dlink Internet Server , Dlink 10/100 5 ports switch,
Dlink 10Mbps hubs
                All PCs equiped with Allied Telesyn 10 Mbps Nic with IP
Address assigned.
                All PCs are INTEL celerons 400, 64 MB Ram

Recently, a friend told me to replace all the 10 Mbps Nic with 100 Mpbs
Nic WITHOUT replace the HUBs WILL increase the bandwidth of the network.
Is it true ?

How I am going to increse the bandwidth of the network ?
(1) replace HUBs with a switch(100Base) ?
(2) replace 10base NIC with 100base NIC WITHOUT replace HUBs ?
(3) replace 10base NIC with 100base NIC and replace HUBs with SWITCH ?

All PCs mainly use for networkable game such as HALF-LIFE,
COUNTER-STRIKE, STARCRAFT, DIABLO II, AGE OF EMPIRE II, QUAKE III and
into the internet.

I hope you all is able to give me some advice or tips. All advice and
tips is fully appreciated.

TIA.

Best Wishes
