A managed switch seems rather overkill for domestic use. You'd have to be pushing loads of data for any difference to be noticeable. Even at NTHW's infamous LAN parties, we only daisy chain unmanaged gigabit switches, and don't have problems with people gaming, whilst others are leeching 10s of gigs of "stuff" between PCs.
