Hi Azeem!

If it's in a PCI slot, could you please have a look in dmesg at the point where 
the e1000 driver module loads and could you check which kind of PCI interface 
the driver uses?

Should look like this:

> Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - version 7.6.15.5-NAPI
> Copyright (c) 1999-2008 Intel Corporation.
> PCI: Setting latency timer of device 01:00.0 to 64
> e1000: 01:00.0: e1000_probe: (PCI Express:2.5Gb/s:Width x4) 00:10:f3:0e:c5:d4

If it's only operating in PCI 33Mhz, 32 bit mode you'll never get more 
throughput than 300 - 400 mbit/s
