Never mind just figured it out :-) The problem for me is that I work almost exclusively on embedded X86 using Alix and rarely have to deal with standard x86 mobos. So it looks like this older Imagestream gateway is limited to 100baseT unless there's a trick way to accomodate PCI-X cards (?)

The one I have doesn't have PCI-express slots, just standard 32 bit PCI. I guess I can use the Intel dual 1000 cards: http://www.intel.com/products/server/adapters/pro1000mt-dualport/pro1000mt-dualport-overview.htm altho looking on-line the edge connector is longer than the regular PCI slot. Is that for another style of PCI?
