That's easy, as they have absolutely nothing at all in common:
Gigabit is an extra large bit, as opposed to 'I'll just have a small bit
of that'.
Switches is the thing that you have one your walls, usually close to the
doorways.

Well, you didn't tell him all of what he wanted to know. You left out
"cards". Cards are the small plastic things in your pocket (credit cards).
A gigabit card is something with not just a small bit of money on it, like
your and my credit card, but with huge amount of money. Bill Gates probably
has a gigabit card, but when I look at what he's typically shopping
(hand-knitted grayish brown pullovers, cheap glasses, and bad haircuts), I
doubt. And a gigabit switch is something that switches not just a small
bit. The switch of a nuclear power station comes in mind.

A Gigabit card is the next big buzz in desktop computing. It's an
addon device that allows coputing with up to 1024 bits instead of the
32 or 64bit of modern CPUs. But it takes so much power that you need
a new Gigabit (power-)switch to handle it in your PC. |

Well, are there any particular cards and switches that you had in mind
to compare? That is, makes and models?

Bad boy. You should of known better. Its not a good idea to help
students asking things in this newsgroup. Reason for it is below.
Many people in this newsgroup used to get really annoyed at first year
CS architecture students posting exam or homework questions to
the newsgroup, expecting busy professionals to do their homework for
them. After all, that's why they have textbooks and instructors.
Inappropriate homework questions can often be identified by the trivial
nature of their answers and/or by a collection of unrelated topics.
Since there are thousands of new people taking CS courses every year, if
even a tiny fraction ask questions on the Internet, the regular
newsgroup readers get very tired of the questions.

Jouni,
What's with the speech? Did you read Christoph's answer?
Does it sound correct to you?

Of course its correct, and you should read other things I've written
about homework assignments in this group lately. |

Ah, but sometimes cards are those quait things people used to write
notes on (by hand) and send through the mail to communicate with their
friends/lovedones/peers. Versions were optimized for season and
occasion, with a great many niche specializations.
Of course, this led to the inevitable discussions (well, armchair
arguments) over what version of card was truely "best" in the
industry. Different card types had different fans, many of whom were
quite besoted with their card of choice. Some prefered those cards
where someone could provide all their own text, peak-optimized for any
occasion, while others insisted that those cards pre-printed and
shrink-wrapped for specific occasions were best, and would one day
replace all other cards.
happy holidays,

Being able to stack 8 gigabit cards to get a gigabyte card and thus
purchase every hamburger made by McDonalds is an unintended side
effect.

Oh, it certainly is correct!
Fry's near here has had TWO of their special "one day only,
one per customer only" sales on these new cards. My wife
and I are now the proud owners of a pair of them. They are
really very nice, with the pictures of St. Nicholas and all ...

Considering the season, perhaps traditional northern
european cards with St. Nicholas, and of course the
switches would be willow.
