Try throwing in another network card and see if it helps. Next step is
to try twinking tcp settings
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314053) and see
if that helps. Beyond that, try playing the update driver game. If you
are still having problems, try receiving bigger and bigger results to
see where problem occurs. 1-2k range suggests mtu problem, 4-8k range
suggests tcp receive window problem.
Beyond that, I'm stumped, uh, buy Opteron? :)
