Estimate the maximum throughput between the database servers before getting the gigabit hardware. I don't know what the specs are on your servers, but I'd think you'd be hard pressed to saturate a full duplex 100Mb link. If you do need more bandwidth, depending on the O/S and hardware you can aggregate 2 or more 100baseT NICs or use 1000baseT cards with a crossover cable. -- Michael
