Are there any routers that support 1000Gb (Gigabit) Ethernet inputs? I've reached the point where all of my computers have Gigabit capability, so I'd like to leverage that in terms of computer-to-computer, paticularly because I plan to add a NAS box shortly, but I'm having some difficulty finding Routers that are 10/100/1000 capable at the input. (The uplink doesn't matter much, that's going to a cable modem). In researching things, I did find two D-Link models:

D-Link DGL-4100: http://games.dlink.com/products/?pid=371&#DGL-4100

(wired)

D-Link DGL-4300: http://games.dlink.com/products/?pid=370&#DGL-4300

(802.11g)

These are both 4-port, and I guess will probably get the job done, and I know I could add a switch to extend the port count, but what I'd really like to find is an 8 or so port router. However, all of the 8 porters seem to just be 10/100. But in the absence of an 8+ porter, are there any further routers with 10/100/1000 (Gigabit) inputs?

Any suggestions?

Looks like Linksys has a 4 porter out:

It quotes a NAT/WAN rate of 800MbPS, which is at least something.

Not quite to the point of seeing any 8+ porters, yet. Not sure why not, must be a chip-set thing.
