| 10/100 lan and 10/100/1000 lan
Will I know a difference between the two? Hooking up to dsl and router if that means anything.

nope... for home use it wont matter... 10/100/1000 means that its compatible with 10 MB Lan, 100 Lan and 1000 Lan (gigabyte)
for 10/100/1000 you will need an special router hub, it will default back to 10/100 on most common hardware right now.
So dont worry you will be able to setup all. | |

In addition, you need Cat5e twisted pair or you end up with 100 Mbps anyway. | |

You can do Gigabit on standard Cat5 more often that not. It's just not rated for it.
By the way, it is gigabit, not gigabyte. | |

Yes, it is a name brand as well. Primarily it is a measurement. Hard Drives, RAM etc.. | |

In practicality, the difference is not real between 100 and 1,000 bit connections. Unless one is talking about servers with fiber channel, other bottlenecks will reduce the speeds. 1 gigabit is about 125MB of data per second. My PCs and drives cannot handle 125MB per second. My Oracle servers (four dual processor 3.2 Hz blade servers connected to a fiber channel SAN array of 42 72GB SCSI 15,000 rpm drives) can but not my PCs.
