Make sure there is no other activity on the hub other than the game; both from the gaming computer or any others connected to the hub. Having another computer 'on' won't cause trouble unless it's generating network traffic.
Unless you can get a very clean signal a wired connection would be...
Chances are it's disk activity causing the delays.
In firefox go to the url about:config. search for "cache" and double click on "browser.cache.disk.enable" to disable the disk cache.
See if that prevents the delays in firefox. If it does check your drive controllers in device manager to...

Keeping the raptor as primary makes sense.
The best way to copy the files to the seagate would be to install the drive and create a single ntfs partition. The drive will then appear in explorer so you can copy files with ease. Once you have the files off the raptor you can reformat it and...

Also keep in mind that 100% updated is not always the best. I've had windows updates cause me...
the xp cache tends to be very over aggressive for general use. I use a little utility called ntcacheset that resets the cache size at timed intervals (a few seconds) to prevent it from stealing memory used by programs. I've found 14000k every half second to work well for me (1gig).
Your system may be switching the CPU to a lower frequency and lower voltage while not under load. Go start>settings>control panel>power options and select the "always on" power scheme. If this fails to resolve the problem try disabling any power saving options in the bios (cool & quiet).
Run a few tests to check your hardware (prime95, memtest86). After the hardware tests pass, check DFI for a bios update, then check for malware. If you want to track this down further I'd suggest targeting a specific (preferably reproducible) issue.
