wow i discovered something
if you get 2 msn accounts on both of the computers and link the two of them with a crossover cable, data transfer is amazingly quick! i dont know if this is because they are connected or because they both have 2.3 mbps broadband, but you wuill have to give this a try!
 
you can connect them both with 1 cable and file share at the limit of your card and network cable. You dont have to go the msn route, just create a workgroup and turn on file sharing.
