You won't get full gigabit speeds in any event unless

That should be fine for me. I don't know exactly if the
onboard GbE card of my ASUS (P5LD2 SE) are PCI-X
or PCI-E or just plain PCI but anyway I've got slow
hard disks (I'm not using any stripped RAID setup) so
it indeed doesn't matter.

Would that be an OK Gigabit ethernet switch? Are there
gotchas?

It will be just fine.

Great. I'll "buy it and see" :)

Thanks to everybody for their inputs,
