  7. 10 gig Nics for fast access to Quickbooks data file. Will this really help?

    I have Quickbooks on two network PCs. The network has a 1 gig switch and right now all PCs have 1 gig nics. Quickbooks is very slow to load and even runs slower on the PC that accesses the data file over the network. I have two 10 gig nics. A 10 gig network switch is rather expensive. If I...
