At what point does a switch help.

At what point is a switch better then a hub?

When you have 10 or more PCs. Otherwise, a switch can actually slow network traffic. A switch only helps avoid packet collisions on heavily used networks. On a lightly used network, the added overhead of the switch can be a hindrance, although you probably would never notice the difference.
