What will be the bottleneck getting data to/from the server to my wirelessly connected laptops?
1. Speed of the server machine HD(s)? Does it matter if they are 5400 or 7200RPM?
2. Ethernet adapter performance of the server machine?
3. Router performance?
4. Wireless adapters of the laptops?
I'm investigating my options in implementing a home network. I will have two laptops connected wirelessly, a non-N wireless router being a Buffalo WHR-HP-G54, some kind of low power data server connected by ethernet to the router. I have reasonably fast DSL internet. I will have my email client's data on a server HD, database tables I'll want to search and query, MP3s I'd like to stream.
