Would a FastEthernet switch/device slow down my Gigabit networking?

[icode3]

I have setup an Asus RT n16 with 3 computers that support gigabit ethernet and a media server on one floor. On the other floor I have set up a fast ethernet switch (connected to my asus router) which is connected to several fast ethernet enabled computers.

Would the fast ethernet devices slow down the entire gigabit networking to 100mbps connections on my floor - similar to how a wireless n network running at 300mpbs must slow down to 54mbps when a wireless g device is connected to it?

Thanks!

the short answer is NO

between a computer with Giga and a computer with Fast the connection will only be Fast, whereby, Giga to Giga will remain Giga
