Look into HiPPI (esh driver) I think it's checked in? 100MBytes/s capability.
I think the Pentium II's on P6DNH boards are getting about 30MBytes/second.
It's a bit pricier but, you get more performance with it. Look at:
GigaLabs - www.gigalabs.com
Essential(Optical Data Solutions) - www.ods.com
Good luck,
