Ok, I am willind to  go tet a 10/100 Sitch or hub, I have been wanting
to upgrade my hub anyway. I am a little confused, which should I get,a
switch or hub? Whats  the difference between the two? I went to Comp USA
page, and there is a 5 port switch, and there is also a 5 port hub, and
they are around the same price. I did not notice if the switch had a
uplink port for my cable modem, doe this matter? Thanks.
