Layer 2 switches - again there is a huge disparity between $20 switches at Wal-Mart/Best Buy and $150+ switches from reputable firms. The higher end switches from DLink are pretty good, as well as the low-end HP stuff. There are others that come to mind, but I think you know where I'm going.
Forgive me for my ignorance, but if using a PCI NIC card for a gigabit throughput is bad, then what else is there to use?
