I just wanted to double check if anyone was aware of a bug with Windows x64 and Marvell LAN x64 drivers.
I found out that my Internet, when connected through my Marvell LAN port, almost comes to a halt when I open multiple pages at once. Only spikes of data get through when viewing network activity on Windows Task Manager. If I download a file, sometimes it downloads perfectly at a nice level 2.5+ mb/s and other times it has trouble downloading with spikes going up and down from 0 to 2.5 mb/s throughout the download. Playing Halo on it, however, seems to have no problems... I get a nice level 700-800 mb/s.
However, when I switch to my nForce4 LAN port, everything works great. No problems surfing multiple pages, downloading or gaming. I just installed the nForce4 LAN drivers and not the Firewall.
I came across this post from the DFI forums about a possible bug:

Although I don't have 4GB of RAM and PCI MMIO is disabled in my BIOS, I still think I'm having the same problems as the guy in that post.
I know most people use the Marvell LAN port because of nForce4 driver issues... so I'm just wondering if anyone has had similar problems or knows of a bug with the Marvell LAN drivers and Win x64. I just want to make sure my LAN port isn't broken.
Thanks :)
