If I have any one complaint on the new Sun Rays, I'd like to see gigabit ethernet on the 2FS and possibly the 2.

GbE, why would you want that?

Dual large displays could suck up a bit,esp. if one had this wild notion

Exactly. Of course gigabit ethernet would be utterly useless on most WANs but in certain circumstances I'd image network saturation of the 100 MBps on a gigabit LAN.

What kind of server could support a few GbE SunRays?

From what I understand the the goal is to lower the bandwidth demand not make it higher!

When I purchased the firts SunRays in 2001 it needed a private network, now it is said(I have not tried) to be able to work over a 4-500 kb/s link so GbE must be useless or?

Or do the SunRay have to little buffering on the SunRay side so latence is very critical which GbE could enhance maybe?
