Well, I "upgarded" my BIOS to v1.8 without bothering to check these forums... just hoping that MSI would have fixed the bugs by now. Big mistake. Now my computer won't even shutdown and I have to manually hold down my power button just to power off my computer. I've finally had enough of...

Everything on the Dell servers are onboard(including video card) except the RAID card, which is on PCI.

spidey07, Yea, 200-500 Mb/s is kind of what I expected. The gigabit cards are onboard. I ran these tests on recently purchased commonplace Dell servers. I'm wary of making registry changes on servers, so I will try changing the MTU on test workstations.

The server sending the data and the server receiving the data both have similar hardware. Both running RAID 5... both recently purchased commonplace Dell servers. I believe the RAID card is the only card in the PCI slot. The gigabit cards are onboard. Onboard devices don't share the PCI...

It would seem like an internal one would be faster, but I've tried using both and they seem to be the same.

The specs are just standard Dell servers. Raid card is Dell Perc 4di running on Seagate Cheetah 10k RPM, SCSI-3 hard drives on RAID 5. These are relatively new Dell servers that were put in recently. I know there are overheads and such... but my problem is... we're not even getting close...

I got similar results on my home computer which I recently put together. I tried transferring from one Hitachi SATA hard drive to another identical hard drive. I don't have have any PCI cards installed and my video card is PCI-e.

I have one. It is SWEEEEET. I have THREE 120mm Panaflo fans with fan speed controller. One at back, one in front, and one on CPU. DAMN quiet. Only bad part is that the top of the case collects dust FAST and you can tell because the case is black. I especially like the silent Power supply...

MCrusty and Chaotic, thanks for the quick reply. I would actually be thrilled to even have 25MB/s(200Mbits/s) transfer speed. The specs are just standard Dell servers. Raid card is Dell Perc 4di running on Seagate Cheetah 10k RPM, SCSI-3 hard drives on RAID 5. These are relatively new...

Yes, the SCSI RAID card is on a PCI slot. Heck, we've even tried going server to server and skip the switch altogether by using a cross-over cable and the results were the same. We've tried testing on multiple servers and the results were the same. I've had a friend at a different company run...

I've been doing some tests recently here at work on our gigabit network and I've noticed something peculiar. When I do large file transfers between servers, I noticed that I don't get anywhere near what I should be getting for a gigabit network. Heck, I don't even maximize a 100 baseT network...

Really?? Hmm.... When I installed the new drivers I just installed everything there. I wasn't using a IDE hard drive so I didn't think it would affect me. Right now, I just live with it. About half the time when I turn on my computer, it blue screeens. It works fine once I restart it...

Just got back from a long weekend... turned on my computer... and it kept restarting and blue screening after reaching the Windows XP screen. This thing is really pissing me off. Brand new computer... doesn't work like it's supposed to. I thought everything was finally figured out, but there...

If you read the earlier posts in this thread, you'll see that the problem is most likely because of the bad ethernet card driver that is installed. I think the file that is causing it to crash is like... nvtcp.sys or something like that. The reason why it looks like your computer reboots...
