Check Minotaur for fast eithernet switch. Netgear 10/100 4-port full duplex switch at a little over $200. At that price I'd get one myself, but be careful in what you use. There's no difference in the "switching hub" and the real switch for a single user on the network. In my case, I'm the ONLY significant user on my in-house network, and for any volume I'm never going more than one way on one path at a time. Even DSL isn't going to take a significant hunk of 100mb bandwidth. In short, don't pay for what you can't use. Nevertheless, at ~$200 vs $89.95, I'd opt for the real switch myself. And, speaking of not paying for what you can't use but ignoring it, TJT has Matrox Millenium g200 AGP OEM boards with SGRAM (or at least so the banner says) for $89, in stock. That is, the retail board equivalent, minus software I don't need. So I ordered a couple. BTW, the matrox page had an extremely clear description of the variations once I knew what I was looking for.
