Easy enough to try, thanks.

So, I installed an open source HTML5 speedtest app (link below) on an old Dell 
Optiplex 755 (Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM) that has a 1 Gbit interface and get 1 Gbps 
all day long. See attached proof from this morning. Works on IPv4 and IPv6. The 
Dell is running Fedora 18 32-bit, Apache2, PHP. Few tweaks to the NIC buffers 
and a couple of Apache settings and it was golden.

  Hard to find an app or appliance that will reliably show a customer the speed 
they are getting when it is above 100 Mbps.  We have increasingly more 250, 500

need something to prove them wrong.  An average laptop does not cut it.  

  We have installed our own speedtest server with the ookla recommended 
hardware etc.  But it takes a pretty good computer that actually show a gig.  
Ditto iperf.  Be nice if there was some kind of handheld device that could do 
this.   There are all kinds of hand held computers designed to roll your own 
piece of test or control gear.  Just not sure what is important.

  CPU speed
  Memory size
  PHY circuit
  Memory type

  I guess I should ask this question of ookla...
