What network card/OS are you using?

I have an Athlon X2 4200+ w/ Onboard NVidia and a Dual Athlon MP 1600+
w/ PCI Intel Gigabit NIC, which I am able to get 880mbit/s through,
through a switch (dodgy minitar).

Both the above machines are running Linux (2.6)

I also seem to recall getting at least 600-700 out of the windows
version of iperf.

Cheers,
Trent
