      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I&#039;m trying to figure out how to best wire my rooms for Ethernet. How many switches between the modem/router would be considered too many?<br />
<br />
I wanted to put a main switch connected to the router. Then wire cabling to smaller switches, ideally in each room. The important stuff would be 2 switches from the router. Some areas would come in a lot cheaper if they were wired behind the 2nd switch, but anything connected would now be 3 switches from the router.<br />
<br />
Would this cause a lot of latency?]]></content:encoded>

The wide resolution has had it&#039;s advantages but I&#039;m getting tired of having everything so spread out.  It&#039;s also hit or miss with certain games.  Sometimes the HUD components are so far a part their a pain in the ass to use.  Dropping to a lower res will also give me a big increase in the FPS.  Going 4k would drop my FPS by about 17%.  So here are my options.<br />
