gigabit lan problems or hardware limitations

[nonsence]

this is what i got on both comps.
asus A7V8X-X motherboard (apparently has pci v2.2, 133MB/sec)
dlink DGE-530T 10/100/1000mbps network card
linksys SR2016 10/100/1000mbps switch
1.2GB ddr400 memory
cat6 network cables

the MOST i get while transfering files between the network is approx 24MB/sec or 192mbps

i checked out info at this site - http://www.syskonnect.com/syskonnect/pe...r-copper.htm#D-Link%20DGE-500T|outline

is there a way to increase the mobo speeds for 66/32Mhz speeds or ANYTHING i can do to get more speeds when transfering files.
i fear that my systems might not be good enough. but all evidence so far suggests that they "should" be able to handle the speeds

i'm running Windows 2003 SP1 R2 on both systems

try setting your workstations hard coded to 1000Mbps full duplex.
see if that has any effect
might also be a caching / hard drive limit

I would guess Disk I/O. Also, not sure on those cards, but not all network cards are created equal!

The "Speed" that you get is the average Speed that you get from an Average Default Home Giga.

You need more? You would need to use your Card, and start buying High-level devices.

that site made too many assumptions about the knowledge of a home user. also my switch isn't a cisco, but is considered for small business environments.
only thing i havent tried yet is to up the mtu to 1500. too bad my switch doesnt do more then that, which i find rather stupid. but maybe there is a firmare upgrade/hack for it.....maybe

as far as hard drives go. it's an ata100 or ata133. most i got out of it now with some tweaking of application prioroty and overclocking from 1.6ghz to 2.0ghz was 44MB/sec transfers.
and the hard drives can do more then double that.
technically, an ata133 is approx the same speed as a 1000mbps network. in theory at least. so at best i would be getting close to full performance, if the rest of the computer could transfer those speeds. but from the looks of it, the problem is the cpu. i have high grade bought cat6 cables, and i'm running pci v2.2 which is 32bit, and i think it auto detects 66/33mhz so i have been getting higher speeds then what a normal 33mhz can do.
but i'm still stuck on knowing exactly what the issue is
