When evaluating 1G switches, what indicators other than cost should one
look for to assess their quality? Are there certain things in the
tech specs to be aware of, , etc?

Subject: Looking for a good, $100 class 1G switch
I have just discovered that my 1G switch, a $40ish thing from Newegg
is doing bizarre things when I move files around here in my office.
Overall I seem to get 13M/sec, as opposed to 35M/sec if I hook the
laptop directly to another system. Worse, the data moves in fits and
spurts, so I think I'm overloading the little things brain.
Thus I ask if there are decent switches somewhere around $100 that
actually work at G speeds. For $300 I know I can get good stuff, but
cheaper? I have $100+ that I can spend.
Thanks!
