OT crossover cable speed

[Rob VanFleet <rvf@linux.wku.edu>]

Sorry this has nothing to do with Debian, but I'm at a loss as to where
else to ask (if it matters, both machines are running Debian <g>).

I am looking to connect two machines, one will be connected to the
outside network, the other connected to it via a second NIC.  I really
don't want to use a switch for just two machines, but I am wondering if
a crossover cable has any speed disadvantages as opposed to a small
switch.  These machines will constantly be transferring data, so I would
like the connection to be as fast as possible (limited by the NICs to
100 Mbs).

Thanks for any advice,
Rob
