If you are or have JVM loaded, definately upgrated the ram to 128. It take a low density DIMM's. Most people have old ram laying around. If you are handling large files it will not hurt. If the transfer is a bunch of small files proably not.

Now with that said, there are several factors that effect file transfers. Number of users, size and number of files. The FAQ's show the max file size a snap can handle. It's also posiable you may be loosing packets or having packet collisions. Even routers or switches them self can over heat during heavy traffic. Try a direct connect with a crossover cable and see it the problem clears.
