   Check the cabling.  Switch the location of the two 8600's but leave
EVERY cable where they currently are.  If the problem follows the slow
8600 you've either got a software problem (reload the system and try
again) or a hardware problem (call Apple).  If the problem starts to
affect the "good" 8600 then you have a problem with your cabling.
