The scenario was a 4 processor box with a quad card. What Microsoft did was
introduce a registry tuneable that would allow a processor to have complete
use of a particular ethernet port.

The scenario was 4 100mb connections on the same subnet. Completely bogus.

Threads had nothing to do with it. And it was all static web pages.
