newsequentialid

HI

Does anyone know if the sentence below from BOL means newsequentialid does not generate unique id on computer with network card? we have a sql database that uses newid for several tables, I want to switch to newsequentialid to reduce page splits

The GUIDs generated by NEWSEQUENTIALID() are unique within a particular computer only if the computer does not have a network card

thanks

Pauli
