right! so why do both keep updating their own marketing and web pages each month? ;-)
thanks for the info though - our future world isnt messed up for multigig

*optional* - in our current energy efficiency/green aligned world this should be mandatory

okay.. so buying now is like buying pre-N 802.11 kit - it should work with final standard
but theres no cast-iron guarantee....new silicon might be required ?
thanks for the info though! :)
