Do you really need more than 10 megabytes per second from this camera?
Gigabit Ethernet, alone, will use 80% of the bandwidth available on the PCI
bus (behind Cardbus/PC-Card), so it'll severely limit bandwidth to any other
components on the PCI bus in your system, such as the built-in ethernet, any
miniPCI cards you have, wireless, etc.
All the good gigabit ethernet chipsets are either built into the northbridge
on the chipset, or take either PCIe or PCI-X.
