Items Selected in One Minute
The 20 items selected by the DartCart™ on a 56K modem exceeded the ADSL performance of all the shopping carts!
In practical terms for 50% broadband penetration customer base, replacing your shopping cart will double the customer base.
The new customers at 20 items/minute 56K s can order faster than existing high speed ADSL customers.For ADSL, it appears the Amazon® shopping cart is almost half the performance of DartCart. However, the Amazon® shopping cart required 1.5MB network traffic. With the same resources*, 9 customers on 56k modems could select 20 items each in the same minute with the DartCart™.
Performance, of course, depends on a number of factors.
For the one minute sales powers above, the client was a Compaq® Presario
1200,800MHz AMD Athlon 4®, 196MB RAM using Windows® Me
and Internet Explorer® 5.5. The server used for the
DartCart™ was a Pentium® 133MHz, 128MB RAM using Redhat Linux 7.2
while all other servers were those of the respective vendors in mid 2002.
