Strange Samba speed problem


Ok here is what is happening.

When I try to transfer files from my samba server to my linux boxes I only get 4MB/s transfer speed. However from all my Windows boxes i get about 8MB/s.

I have even taken on of my boxes that had Gentoo tried it and got 4MB/s, then I booted into knoppix and I got the same results. However when I booted the same PC into Win2k I wa able to get 8MB/s. Why is this?

NOTE: all the systems are are running samba3, even the server.

my smb.conf
Code:
[global]
        netbios name = GentooP2400
        server string = File Server
        security = share
        #security = user
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        obey pam restrictions = Yes
        pam password change = Yes
        passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
        passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
        unix password sync = Yes
        log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
        max log size = 0
        read raw = Yes
        write raw = Yes
        dns proxy = No
        guest account = jay
        printing = cups
        printcap name = cups
        keepalive = 600

[80s]
        comment = 80Gig2
        path = /80s
        read only = No
        writable = yes
        guest ok = Yes
