So if you LAN is 10mbps it should cope!
If you are using a Hub (not a switch) more users will result in more collisions and lower speed.....on a application such as you outline I would expect a switch to help the situation considerably.
A SCSI disk will no doubt help signfigantly also, as average seek time will be much lower (in practice) than an IDE device.

70 to 85 200 k images per minute? I think you are maxing out your network
bandwidth.
Ever consider converting them to jpeg format (compressed) to reduce file size
and thus bandwidth requirement?
To find out what a particular node speed is, mouse over the network icon in the
system tray

| Hey guys, right now we have an app that allows our people to view files
(intranet app), and tag them (tagging the ones with a document number on the
top). We're viewing like 70+ tiff images a minute. It is fine when one user is
hitting the server. But when we get 5 people to hit the server, it frequently
takes a bit longer for each image to show up. We can't have that, as this guy
can tag anywhere from 70 to 85 images a minute.
|
| The images vary from 50k to 200k in size, and i am confused why that would
slow down the network I thought a closed network in general is pretty fast. Is
there any way to speed up the network? right now we use a 10/100mbps hub. and
also i am wonderin how do u know if your network is running at 10mbps or
100mbps??
|
| Or maybe it would help if we got a faster hard drive? right now it's a
7200rpm would it help to get a scsi hard drive, in terms of spitting out an
image to the network?

| Thankie!
