And an Intel PCI64 GigE adapter in an appropriate motherboard
is a PC solution which will easily handle the full GigE.

Remember even Ciscos use PCI busses (or slower) in most models
which UCC could hope to acquire, just with non-standard
connectors.  Even some with "onboard" GigE can't push close to
the full Gig.  The ones which are faster than PCI are not easy
to come by (and far more expensive than the GigE solution).
