Default Network Segments

i was wondering is it better to have 1 of my switches with only pC and the other with only servers

will this make my network run more efficient and faster

i'm not sure about switches if they can share internet...do you have internet rightnow?

I think you can connect the switches each with a router

how are the switches connected to the internet? you have 4switches, are they connected to a multi-pc modem or do you have multiple internet connections?

this means the switch wich is the closest to the modem has to do a lot of work..

this means everything is probably slowed down a little.

you can buy a fast router, as fast as possible, and connect each switch to a seperate port on your router

But, what's the speed of your internet connection?
