it makes transfering files from one computer in your home network to another in the same network faster, provided that all involved computers and routers involved are 10/100/1000 compatible. not that big of a deal really, it won't affect your internet connection at all, not for the next 10 years at least.

I have RoadRunner, too. Great ain't it? It's a maximum of 3 megabit connection. http://www.houston.rr.com/content/pricing/
So even if you only had a 10 megabit card (or an 11 megabit wireless card) you could not surf any faster.

Anyone using a laptop to simply access the Internet over broadband cable or DSL will get ZERO benefit out of having a Gigabit LAN card. Most people won't even max out a 10 MBit LAN card, yet alone a 100 MBit LAN card. You are lucky if you get a 5 MBit connection from your ISP.

point am trying to make would it make your internet surfing faster... it should ... like your looking through websites you will notice the difference between connecting on a 10/100 card then a 10/100/1000 , especailly later on when cable providers are gonna offer higher speeds.....and i do dl songs.........bascially what am saying is that one would be able to surf faster with a 10/100/1000 then a 10/100 network card..........and am not talking wireless now am talking about having your laptop connected to a high speed cable.....
Your broadband internet connection is most likely an order of magnitude (factor of 10) slower than than the slowest ethernet protocol (10 mbps) - ie. a GREAT cable internet connection may be as high as 1 Mbps. The size of your internal "pipe" won't matter, the most you'll be able to move from the internet to your computer will be limited by the internet and your broadband connection, not your local network.

As FearNo1 said, the only benefit you'll see on a home network is when you're transferring large files within the network.
