Well Reread it!

PCI/32 33Mhz can handle  133MB/s.
Gigabit is simplex _MAX_ 125MB/s.

PCI/64 66Mhz can handle  533MB/s.
Gigabit is duplex _MAX_  255MB/s.

Every x86 Serverboard since PCI Version 2.2 ( which is released in the
late 90's ) is included with such a PCI/64 3.3 Volt, 66Mhz Slot.

Most of the Gigabit Cards handle PCI/64 66Mhz 3.3Volt.
