Default Gigabit Ethernet

Hey guys how do I know if my PC has gigabit ethernet connectivity? Pretty sure it does. Is there a spot I can buy adaptors for it? What parts do I need?
I might be using that 100 MBs connectivity and I want to upgrade my connectivity to gigabit ethernet. How do I do this?

Yes its got gigabit ethernet, would imagine chamces of getting download speeds like that are hovering around the zero mark, but connecting on a lan would be faster.

So how do I go about getting a LAN? I think I may already have the LAN though as I have the Marvel Yukon driver

Can't believe I overlooked this, but I already have gigabit ethernet. Always did. It is faster but on a microscopic level. It's not what it's cracked up to be and certainly not 10X faster than the lesser like I read all over.

Mostly down to broadbamd provider, doesnt matter if you have gigabit eithernet if you only have 5-10mb broadband, if you connect two computers think it has to be cross-over cable looks like an eithernet cable but it isnt.
