Re: LAN Party Questions

about the network make sure to have enough "patch cables" (rj45 category 5 ethernet cables) to connect all the computers to the swithc / hub and make sure they will be long enough. it would be good to get at least a 100 mbs switch 1 gigabit (aka 10/100/1000 baseT) would be better also switches are usually faster than hubs as they allow more than one person to have a "conversation" with someone else at the same time.

hope that helps a bit
