Thanks for the reply, Yes I understand that 100mbit and pci are a bit outdated, unfortunately I'm still campaigning to have our switches upgraded to gbit or 10gbit. I will see if I can aquire an intel nic to test it with, however before the problem with NICs started it operating fine. It seems though that there is an ongoing problem with NICs on this machine. The onboard ones haven't so much died (they still allow me to use them from the OS) but they just won't start up or accept there is a cable plugged in. The PCI nic does seem to be working and transfers to/from the server seem ok except when there's video being moved. I will do some testing and see if I can come up with a more definite reason to the performance problems.
