|   b) *One* $100 PCI ethernet card can easily use 100% of the bandwidth of a
|      normal Ethernet, a second one won't help.

Actually you can use pretty much all of a 10 Mbit/s Ethernet with a $30
NE2000 clone. With a $100 100 Mbit/s PCI Ethernet card, you can use around
80% of the bandwidth :-)
