a "gigahertz" switch?  neat :) (I think you meant gigabit again).

What're the make/models (and most importantly, AGE!) of said switches?

What're the two endpoint machines? 
Do they both show link state at 1 gbit?
What about the switches? Do their ports all show a gbit link state?  On
a gbit switch, this is usually green (with amber then indicating
10/100).
