Unless you're running in full duplex (both crossover and switches support this mode, so long as the NIC/switch at each end both support it and are configured correctly). Then there's no collisions, and you have a nice fast connection. Your point about the factor affecting both crossover and switches is quite correct regardless, however. You can really just think of a switch as an N-way crossover cable connection; each port on the switch only gets traffic bound for the machine on that port.
