*shrug*  80 Mb/s is what I remember, that is, 80% of transmission capability
of a 100 Mb/s card, compared to the 16bit cards' throughput of 20 Mb/s (20%
of maximum).

Anyway, 80MB/s would be 640 Mb/s, larger than the 100Mb/s ethernet
throughput itself! 

If I can find references to my 80 Mb/s claim, I'll pass them on.
