Examine the throughput on your 100 meg nic. I doubt that it is maxed out,
so putting in a 1000 meg link isn't going to achieve anything.

Windows file sharing seems incapable of saturating 100Mbit/s Ethernet, but
that doesn't mean it wouldn't be faster with 1Gbit/s Ethernet.

Pretty much what I was expecting. While it won't saturate the connection,
giving it a pipe 10 imes bigger to move the data across has got to improve
the speed somewhat :-)

In reality, don't expect more than a two- to three-times performance
increase at best.
