Impossible numbers with Performance Monitor

[sumoneOnRR]

I'm trying to monitor the bandwith I'm using, and am logging the Network
Interface. It indicates the throughput is way higher than a 100 Mbps
ethernet adapter could ever do...
The system has an Intel Pro 100 VE ethernet adapter (100 Mbps) running at
100 full duplex.

The counters indicate a maximum throughput of 439,936 Bytes per second.
That would be 439 megabytes per second - don't think so.
The scale is .0001, which I assume is for the graph. Even using this to try
to get the number, that would be 43.99 Bytes/s, or only .0429 MB/s (.343
megabits per second). That's way too low, it must be using more than that.

Any ideas??
TIA,
Scott M.

439,936 bytes = 430 KILObytes = .420 MEGAbytes
'--> /1024 '--> /1024

Hope this helps,

Elaborating on what sumoneOnRR has already said.

439,936 bytes * 8 bits / byte = 3,519,488 bits
3,519,488 bits / (1024 * 1024) ~= 3.36 megabits

And? 3.36 mbps is not unheard of for networking purposes.
I know that at work, I'm dealing with files about 10
megabytes of files (that would now be 80 megabits), and
to access those files across the network takes only about
half a second longer than opening them on my computer.
