    Vista did have a file transfer bug IIRC but I thought that was fixed in SP1?

    use iperf

    download it from here

    http://www.noc.ucf.edu/Tools/Iperf/iperf.exe

    open command line and run it with -s switch on one pc (iperf -s) to run it as a server.

    on the other PC download it again and in command line run "iperf -c IP of above server -w 2m"

    this will give you your true network throughput

    That's right but I'm just curious as to whether there might still be some sort of bug and this will verify if there is or not.

    You don't need to do that either, set both to DHCP and they will negotiate an IP connection through APIPA.

    Update the drivers on both cards

    Try disabling the AV on both machines too..

    AVG is crap on a good day
