Gigabit Network speed

[Bob Wright]

If my network has this setup
Computer A gigabit nic
Computer B gigabit nic
conected through gigabit switch.
If computers C and D have 10/100 nic
connected to same gigabit switch
will transfers from computer A to B be at gigabit speed?
Or will the system degrade to 10/100 because of Computers C and D

Thanks
Bob

If two computers are Giga capable and they are plugged to a Giga switch they
would exchange traffic between them at Giga Level regardless of the other
Network Devices.
BTW. Giga is Not function Giga it is more like x3 - x4 times faster than
100Mb/sec.
