Yup, Netgear switches are better than a kick in the head. I haven't used
D-Link since about 94, because back then they issued some NICs which were
really bad... ie ran slower than a wet week in some machines. (ok, so they
were Optima machines... everything was against me back then ;) )
I went the HP Procurve option because it was within $100 of the netgear, but
offers a 2.4Gb backplane. I don't remember the backplane of the 24port
netgear, but IIRC it was significantly less...
Cheers,
Marty
