   Mike's setup may have other factors that hurt it.  Maybe it's his =
network adapters, poor drivers, or the operating system tcpop =
implementation.  He should probably provide those details.

   At my home without jumbo frames using a 32-bit PCI adapter on a =
desktop talking to a laptop with a PCI-E chipset I see 17 MB/s.  I can't =
try jumbo frames because my switch doesn't support them.  Between two =
32-bit PCI desktops I only get 16-1/4 MB/s.

  wow, that sucks, I would have expected more like 70MB/s with gigabit.
