Ah. Yeah. I tried netio, server on the homeserver and client on my Windows XP SP3 desktop machine, and was seeing 116MB/s. Must be a limit of Samba / FTP or disks.
So long as I know it's *capable* of the full speed, I have nothing to worry about. I was just worried there was something wrong with the card or driver, or something.
Thank you very much for the help :) -- Mark Cullen <mark.r.cullen%gmail.com@localhost>
