Upgrading to a 100 Mbit network would not have significantly improved our test results. However, it is important to remember that, for purposes of our test, we used an isolated network with no additional traffic. In additional, our test script was not graphics intensive. As expected, as processor utilization increases network activity begins to level off. Hewlett-Packard Company 25
