It depends -- is it on a dedicated, full duplex 10mbps port? If it's on a shared network of any sort, the upgrade is worth it. If it's on a half duplex switched port, it's worth it (at 3mbps, you will be seeing collisions on a half duplex 10mbps network, even if it is switched).

If it's a full duplex, 10mbps port, and you don't need to plan to go over 5-6mbps, there probably wouldn't be any benefit. Then again, for $10/month, it's probably cost you more in time thinking about it than the actual expense at this point.

Cheers
