Whenever I use/enable the onboard NIC (RTL 8100 series) the CPU load of Core 2 on the Athlon 64 X2 goes up to a constant 40-60%, in idle. With the NIC disabled it stays at 1-2%
If I disable the onboard NIC, and plug in a card in the second PCI-slot, I get the same results/problem. However if I use the first PCI-slot, closest to the PCI-E 16x, everything works fine. This machine has just been on a long repair at the retailer, and according to the documentation they changed the whole motherboard. Talk about unlucky repair.
It is a Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo-J.
Has anyone experienced anything like this before?
How good are the PCI-E NICs? There is a PCI-E 1x slot also on the motherboard.
