Netgear Router and Hub Question

I am finally getting DSL and want to set up my two computers to share the connection, and also share files and printers and do minimal gaming. This is what I have collected so far:

NetGear RT311 Gateway Router
2 3Com 3c905b-tx NICs
Linksys EW5HUB 10Mbps 5 port Hub

I am a network newbee, and the 10/100 has got me confused. Am I limiting myself by using the 10Mbps Hub in this setup?
 
Yes, since the hub is only rated at 10Mbps. this shouldn't limited yor net connection, since even with the fastest DSL the connection will top at 6Mbps. (most likely DSL will peak at 1.5Mbps, unless you pay a lot of money for it..)

and unless you have a large amount of data to transfer between the computer, 10Mbps is fine.
