Sorry about that the performance figure was not the newest. I couldn't
have post the newest one because of NDA. But it was, I think, fast enough.

I don't think so. HP 700's network interface (ethernet) is already saturated.
To be a balanced system, it should have a faster network interface such as
FDDI. But, it is not a serious problem because a EISA FDDI card seems to be
already available (though not from HP).
