All of those collisions ?  0.47% is a very good collision rate... I would
not worry about it at all at this point...  When it starts pushing 10%,
perhaps look at a switch, or segment your LAN, but its really a
personal/financial decision... Some people would live with a 10% rate,
others would think its a cardinal sin...
