pci is a shared bus with a max of 2 gigabits. you'll see a gigabit but never see two or more. 32bits * 33MHz = 1,056,000,000 bps. PCI is an arbitrated bus with one talker at a time (half-duplex), so it's only capable of half the data rate of a 1Gbps (full duplex) network. In practice, I've

I would defiantly stick with PCIe for 5 NICs. Additionally Realtek NICs don't offer the best performance and their drivers are hit or miss. The Supermicro board has Intel PCIe NICs onboard and a PCIe expansion slot. This should give you full performance depending on the Atom processor. It
