I have a windows xp machine at home but when the time came to buy a laptop I ended up buying a macbook 17' pro. I was so impressed with the way it all just seams to work so well I decided to sell the Xp home computer and go mac all the way. :) Just though you might like to know.
Update ..... I put in cat 6 , due to the fact that here in Czech they only sell in rolls of 300 meters . Which is mainly used in hospitals and the like. So yeah overkill it would be since I probably need about 30 meters at most.

Hi mr Woods Well that certainly looks impressive in the adverts. I am myself looking about at the moment but am not up to speed on the latest tech so I hope someone with a bit of knowledge answers you soon.
