Do you mean your aggregated bandwidth is 600Mbps (megabits/sec) or 600MBps (megabytes/sec)? I'm assuming 6 x 10/100 == 600Mbps. > I did these changes and still top out at 53 MB/s however via AFP I am > able to get an average of 90MB/s up to tops 103MB/s.

I'm afraid I don't know what AFP is, but on a 600Mbps network link your maximum throughput will be ~60MB/sec, so it seems that 53MB/sec isn't that bad. I'm not sure how you can get 100+MB/sec as that's gigabit speed. You could use a program like ttcp to verify how much data you can move over your network link, and a program like Bonnie to see how much data you can read off your disk. If you have slow disks it won't matter how much network bandwidth you have available. (Unless you share a tmpfs filesystem over Samba for testing.)
