Rick, I have the same motherboard on my backup machine and got 48MBytes/sec sustained on a 650GB transfer (but that was using iSCSI), so I suggest two things:
1. Make sure you are using the latest stable -- i.e. not beta, BIOS update. You can use a USB thumbdrive to install it, and can save the old one on there too, in case you want to return to it. 2. I assume you have at least Category 5e ethernet cables between all boxes linked to your gigabit switch. If not, that could be the cause as Cat. 5 might not be sufficient. I use Cat. 6 because I wanted to be sure if I got low speeds that it wasn't the cables letting me down. You might also be able to do a cable test as part of the system's POST, set within the BIOS (I know my other M2N-SLI Deluxe can do this anyway). Hope it helps.
