Currently we have a peer to peer network in an office with approximately 7-10 computers on at a time. We are trying to upgrade performance for pulling and saving data. One of the machines is currently a P4 which is acting as a server No one actuallyuses that machine with the exception of myself. I believe upgrading from a straight hub (Kingston 16 port) to a switch would help. But what brand of switch do you recommend and also is going to a dedicated server better. We are a financial services company and accessing a proprietary database and also the internet. We do have a dsl connection utilizing DHCP. The operating systems that we are using is Win 98 SE and XP professional on the server. Also is going to Win XP Professional on all the machines going to help. Or is Home Edition enough and leave the new machines that we are getting with Home Edition alone. and The Win 98 machines alone Thanks
