network cards slowing down pcs

Network card or the wires ? Many times a poor wire will kill a PC's or and entire network's performance. LED wire testers are useless for testing beyond continuity. Do you have good network cards, Intel cards are one of the best.
For a quick, if not cumbersome wire test, move an offending machine to a connection location which has no problem.
