Here are some figures to ponder.

My threadmark results and system configuration:

Data Transfer Rate (MB/sec) was 9.37
Average CPU Utilization was 26.18 percent (using Adaptecs method of CPU 
usage for every Megabyte/second of data moved this is 2.79%. see 
--> http://www.adaptec.com/threadmark/ntcpubnch.html) 
Shuttle 603 mb with 1 meg L2 cache 66mhz bus
Intel P233mmx
128 megs 60ns edo ram 
Diamond Fireport40UW
Seagate ST34501W Cheetah 4.5gb, Umax scanner, Plextor cd-rom, and Panasonic 
cd-r on the scsi bus
Running Windows NT 4ws with sp3 and IE4
Test was run on the second of three 1.42 gb partitions

Have a great day,
Butch Smith
