From a thread in the networking forum about a good gigabit switch.

Lowest price on froogle is showing above $60 USD. So even if you despise mail in rebates you can still get it at least six (6) dollars cheaper by buying it through the Google checkout (73.89 - 20 = 53.89).

Any idea if the Dlink supports jumbo frames (my understanding is the current firmware on the Netgear does)?

The D-Link does 'Jumbo Frames: Up to 9600 Bytes' while the netgear does 'Jumbo Frame Support (9,000).' More recent firmwares might have changed that, but the d-link looks to be a little bit better.

Netgear specs

D-Link SpecsEdit: There's also a 5-port netgear switch for $22.82 after rebate + GC here. If you add a $3 filler it might come down to $15 by using the $20 off $50 GC.
 
In for one of the D-Link's! Thanks OP for the thread and blakex for the D-L deal. My media network thanks you too! :D

Hmmm, don't see any mention of Jumbo Frame support on buy.com for the GS105.
