Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is

I've done a little reading on QoS but I still have questions.

In a LAN with no servers or Active Directory
objects/activities, is there any point in changing the QoS
reservable bandwidth?

1) Can you do this with XP Home?

2) Are you saying that 20% of the available bandwidth is not available even if updates are not in progress?

3) If you reduce it to0$, what happens when an update comes along?

Thanks.
