It's more a function of the amount of traffic being generated -- case in point, about 15 minutes ago, I managed to generate regular collisions on a network of 8 active NICs (I was imaging some drives and someone got out of sync and was requesting updates). It's around a few dozen nodes that ethernet can start colliding with fair regularity. It mainly comes down to a matter of usage. Michael W.
