Question about migrating VM's

When migrating from ESX 2.5 to ESX 3.01, does it matter what speed NIC the VirtualCenter server is running at? I am thinking all the VC server is doing it telling the ESX servers where to move the files to.

Having a gig NIC on VC has no affect on the speed of VM migrations is what I am asking.

That is correct. The speed of vmotion depends on the nic speed on ESX used for vMotion
