Hmm, I bet they wouldn't say that to someone with a Quadra 950.

Considering the speed with which your computer can handle data from the
hard drive, Ethernet data trasnfer is trivial. It's only when people are
giving their cpu a huge overhead load with windoze that cpu speed
matters. I guess yours would be the same if you were rendering in
Lightwave with task priority set to 127.
A friend of mine was told a couple of years ago by a stumbling zombie
in a shop that his A1200 '030 would not handle the speed of a quad
speed CDRom drive. I managed to convince him otherwise, but that shop
lost a sale. I think they had thought they were going to sell him a
computer.
