Hi Kent, I think it's the Broadcom<->switch connection. You said you changed switches - but I'm betting you just swapped in another Foundry. We have had trouble with the Broadcom gig E adapters under WinXP and certain switches. Try swapping in a 3com or some such. And certainly also try the system on a 100BaseT port as well. My guess is it's in how the Foundry is setting up the ethernet connection. My other guess is that the system timing/BIOS setups are different. I haven't yet seen the BIOS for a 360-G3 or G4 so I don't know that the settings I'm thinking of are even adjustable. But, look for something to do with the PCI bus timing I don't know what HP would name it. Also, check the BIOS version on your older decent 360's and the newer ones and see if you can try flashing an old one to the same BIOS rev as a new one, then see if the old one gets slow.
