high end switch for xbox network...which one?

[MrDudeMan]

i have been browsing the internet in search of a high end hub/switch for my school network. it needs to be at least 16 ports, but 24 would be better...

it doesnt have to be the best, but it needs to be close. this will basically be in use all the time so it must be reliable.

i came here to ask because i havent been able to find something that i really like so far, and i figured someone here could help me out.

thanks

Stay away from hubs, they will just congest a network with that many hosts. You can't really go wrong with a Cisco switch.

well in the 16-24 port switches they're all basically the same, except for maybe cisco.

dell seems to have good switches for cheap. check there.

this wont be connected to an outside network. it is only going to be this 1 switch on the network...no other WAN or LAN connections.

thanks spidey for the dell recommendation...didnt think about that
