Dell has them. You need a big CPU, a big FSB, and fast memory. mac
falls
a little short on a machine like that.

And that's going to give me system that magically surpasses the top

the USB specification? Suddenly I have a hankering for me Lucky

OK- lets do it the "easy" way.
What answer do you want?

? The specific model of Dell you were using, along with its CPU speed,
amount of
RAM, and version of the OS.

I was using an AMD Opteron CPU.


? The kind of USB storage device you were using.

100 Gz 10K hard drive.

? The type and size of files you transferred.

*** you.


That will enable us to try to reproduce the problem. There's actually a
pretty
cool magazine article in this that must be worth at least a couple of
hundred
dollars: How to get 133% speed performance out of USB 2.

You will sit here yipping incessantly, but you will never, ever - do a test.
You are powerless.
