whats the Difference between a "Cross linked" network cable and a normal one

Cross linked cables has the wires crossed at the 2 ends to create an uplink cable. A straight cable doesnt have this. Straight cables are used to connect devices to swtiches/hubs where the hub while cross linked cables are used t connect network devices itself (explaining all this will take a long time).

Simply put, if you get straight cables, you will need a switch or hub to get the connectivity but with a crosslinked cable you can just plug it directly from one PC to another PC without going through a switch or hub.

You cannot use the new PC's Ram. only the file share and internet. Also if the new PC has printer, you can use that.
