It's truly beyond me how you know what factor is limiting people's
machines. If that is any indication for the quality of your other
statements then they truthfully are worth nothing at all. Anyway, who
cares for PCI-X if PCI-E is ramping up in volume and even
the first server class kit is shipping already? PCI-X was a hack from
begin with.

And as for why a GigEthernet residing in a HT attached southbridge
(think nForce) is supposedly bandwidth starved, well only you seem to
know about that.
