You can always replace the existing ethernet card (or augment it, if
it's actually a built-in chip set or ASIC or something). The `Intel
PRO/1000 MT Desktop Adapter', which is supported, are down to US$53.48
on buy.com, for example. I bought a pair of these a while ago, for my
file server and main cpu server (when gigabit switches were a lot more
expensive), and adapted the driver to the file server kernel, but then
realised that I should first replace my IDE cache disk with a SCSI
because the fs kernel's IDE driver doesn't use DMA, and it's
noticeably slower than using a SCSI disk (in part because my big RAM
cache tends to get flushed each night; it's a long story). And none
of this has got done while I'm looking for full-time employment.
