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?

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! --STeve Andre'
