Just so I say it before you wonder why there's little to no difference
performance wise between a hub and a switch for your configuration,
here goes.

You probably won't notice any performance difference between a hub or
a switch in your configuration.

A switch really only shows it's use in 2+ machine networks, where
large amounts of packets are destined for multiple machines
sequentially.
Just had to throw that into the water to make it a little less murky ;)

That being said, switches and hubs are about the same price nowadays,
and at $9, that's a smokin' deal.
