Limit bandwidth allocation for RD

I have two computers both running XP Pro. Actually this can apply to any
Windows version in a Remote Desktop session. Anyway, one of the applications
that will be used in this RD session in a LAN is AutoCAD so the screen
refresh rate has to be pretty high to make the AutoCAD feedback smooth.
Right now the two computers are connected to a 100mbps switch and the
AutoCAD experience is usable even with a slight lag. My question is what if
I upgrade both the NICs on both machines to gigabit and have them connected
through a gigabit switch? Would the gigabit bandwidth make the screen
refresh rate substantially higher so that the RD session will be
indistinquishable from a local use? I guess my question is about RD
allocation of bandwidth. Is there a fix amount of bits allowed for RD in a
LAN that results in no performance increase when the connection is upgraded
to gigabit?

In my experience, RD doesn't pay any attention to available bandwidth and uses
very little b/w itself. You can verify this by running a program like WireShark
to monitor how much b/w RD is using.
