Hint: a standard PCI 32bit/33MHz PCI bus can transfer 132MB/s, which is
slightly greater than the throughput of a single GigE NIC which is a little
over 100MB/s. If the NIC is the only device on that bus, then you have no
worries, and likewise if the bus is shared with a low bandwidth PCI device or two.
What motherboard is this again and which RAID card? Apologies if you already
posted it and I missed it.
