The other nic is not in use right now. I tried switching them so see 
if one would work better than the other, but I didnt see any difference.

The board is an intel

Not sure if its wired as PCI-X or just a 32bit bus.  I am just 
popping in an em pcie nic to see if that makes a difference.  I have 
an igb as well as bge I can try later.
