If the same image must go to each computer, you could use multicast.
You did not say anything about which OS you were using, or about the architecture of the systems involved, or about how you measured the throughput. 240 Mbps is not too different from what I would expect from a standard PC running Windows: to go faster, you need a better-designed architecture. I would suggest that you look on tomshardware.com for the article about gigabit networking,
