Gigabit switch to 10/100 router

I just got a Dell PowerConnect 2608 Gigabit ethernet switch to connect one
network segment to my LinkSys BEFSR81 router. I have two PCs on the Gigabit
segment but the LinkSys built-in switch is limited to 10/100. When the
two PCs on the network segment communicate between each other, will I get
full gigabit, or will the router limit the speed? If so, does anybody know
how to solve this problem?

Thanks for any help.

As long as the PCs are both plugged into Gigabit ports on the Gigabit
switch (and assuming they have Gigabit NICs) they should go full speed
and not be limited by the presence of 10/100 devices on other ports.
