You may choose to use a larger percentage of CPU resources under DOS in order to improve network throughput. In multitasking environments, choose the Minimize CPU Utilization option to save the resources of the CPU for other tasks. If no other applications are making major demands on CPU resources, you can choose the Maximize Network Performance option. CAUTION: Before setting the NIC for full duplex, make sure the switch port is also set to full duplex.
