Windows XP SP2 slowed down my network

I was using Windows XP SP1. Transfering files from SP1 to an intranet
sever could reach a speed of 900KBps on the old 10Mbps LAN.

After upgrading the WinXP machine to SP2, file transfer speed dropped to
only 300Kbps to the same intranet server.

Why? How could I get back my top file transfer speed in SP2? I tried
disabling the firewall, didn't help.

oh, it's hardware IRQ conflict. Changing the network card to another PCI
slot fixed it.
