I know the knee-jerk answer most people will give is ethernet, but here's my situation.
I live alone in a small-ish one bedroom apt so I'm the only one on my network unless people are over. I have a 100mbps down/up connection that I currently run through an airport express n router. I've always just gamed on my laptop and never really had a problem with the wifi performance, but I'm building a new pc so I'm starting to think about ethernet as an option. For reference, my real world speeds on wifi are about 65-70mbps down and 55-60mpbs up.
My desk where I game is through a wall from the router, but only a couple feet away.
I don't really want to run an ethernet cable to the router so it would take getting the other cable jack on in the bedroom (where I game) turned on which apparently is kind of a hassle, but doable.
My question is, could I expect to get a noticeable performance different in gaming from using ethernet over my current wifi connection?
