Thanks for the info, didn't think the limit was so close.
My box has 2.5Gbps but I'm with you on that one regardless of my real needs, I'll wait it out til 10Gbps. If even my geek needs flare up I mean :-)
Most (all?) 10gbe copper switches will negotiate 1/2.5/5 gbps.
Most 10g switches with sfp+ will as well, but you also have to make sure the sfp+ ethernet module will negotiate lower speeds.
I've had some annoying interactions between 1gbps and 10gbps when using different sfp+ switches and sfp+ ethernet modules. I never dug into it, I just swapped stuff around until it worked.
So no reason not to get a 10g switch to start building things out
