I currently have a Netgear 8 port VPN router/switch after my cable modem. This thing is only 10/100 ethernet.

I would like gigabit fast ethernet between the HTPC, PC server and office computer.

Dumb question, can I connect a 10/100/1000 switch to my 10/100 router/switch and still have gigabit ethernet on the 10/100/1000 switch?

I'm looking at the Netgear GS105E.

most certainly you can do that. Then, if the devices connected to the gigabit switch are capable and the traffic is destined for the same switch, the transfer rate will be much higher. I have a similar setup.
