How can you check the actual speed of the Sever to the computer via a switch and back against the 1 gig specified, to see if it's as fast as they say

A rough, basic test would be to through a 10Gb file at the server from the computer and see how long it takes.
Alternatively you could grab one of the many network monitoring tools that allow you to test the network speeds.
Unfortunately, with several computers accessing the same resource (the server) then the contention issue can make it difficult to monitor and you can be sure that the server/switch has to distribute the load between the multiple connections.
Your switch itself, depending on make and model, might have some network analysis software on it to allow you to dig a little deeper.Fergus Weir - teclan ltd
