1GBit Cards

[zolia]

Hi, 

I'm planning to buy 1GB ethernet card to run under linux. What types of
cards are currently supported and in production for linux. Maybe someone
measured how much of CPU power it eats at full throughput? Or at least
give some thoughts about it. Is there any problems with SMP machines
running ether at such spead?
