aspects (as you may have been able to see if you have read any of my
previous posts). I am looking at a NetGear 48 port switch for just
under $300 but it is unmanaged and provides no QoS, VLANs, etc. Down
the road, they want the ability to use video conferencing over the T1.
Will it be a large problem without being able to implement QoS on the
switch? Currently, only 35 of the 48 ports will have traffic and it
will be utilizing connectivity for Internet and to our lone server
running a whole slew of services included with Microsoft SBS.

This isn't really enough information overall. Your limiting factor in
bandwidth is going to be the T1. I'm assuming this 48 port is
10/100Mbps based on the price. Think of it this way... You have 1.5
Mbit T1 to the Internet. You have 100Mbps dedicated switching on each
port internal. If you're talking to people over the T1, where do you
think this bottleneck is going to occur first? :)
