I'm using just a cheapy D-Link DSS-8+ 10/100 switch. My main purpose in buying it was just to continue running 100 to a couple of machines and still use my printer @ 10. The empeg sync issue was the only trouble I've ever had. I could sync a bit of data, but could never finish anything large. After setting my machine to 10, I can do 20GB without a problem.
