IIRC, a high amount of interrupts from a NIC during a transfer seems to imply a poor NIC... Now, I've never seen this kind of behavior out of an Intel NIC -- they tend to be of at least decent quality -- this is more like the behavior I've seen on cheap Realtek-based cards. I'm not saying that this is *definately* your problem, it just looks like a similar problem I had a while back, your best bet might be to get a better NIC (or two in your case). Even a cheap gigabit NIC would do you better since they are meant to handle a higher load. slow PCI bus + cheap NIC = high interrupt load == slow throughput. later. ryanc -- Ryan Corder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Systems Engineer, NovaSys Health LLC. 501-219-4444 ext. 646 [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature which had a name of signature.asc]
