3 Switches... Best one is?

[VladTrishkin]

Networking experts please give advice to a poor Video-cards guy!

All 3 switches can be had for under $50, in your opinion, what's a better buy?
---------

Linksys

Hawking

D-Link

Lets start networking!

BTW: is the Linksys one RJ-45 connector compatible?

Check out Anand's review on switch. He said speed difference is not very significant. so just get the cheapest one.

I have the Linksys one and it's great.

It is RJ-45.

If you are going to sharing a cable/dsl connection with it, then you can only hook up 4 computers.

You can get it for about $35 by having Staples.com match Onvia's price for it, then use a Staples coupon.

Edit: I mention Onvia instead of Buy.com to pricematch from because Oniva doesn't charge shipping, so Staples can't charge you shipping costs if you pricematch from Onvia.

Not sure about any but Linksys.

Used one and had no problems.
