So for various reasons I am in the market for a fiber NIC that connects over a PCI bus. Has to be gigabit fiber, I saw a couple (overpriced) cards that did 100mbps, but I would definitely need to have the full gigabit (PCI does 133MB/s I think, gigabit should be around 125, no clue why this is so hard to find). Does anyone have any recommendations on cards that fit this spec?
I found this:

and while it is a PCIx card, assuming I only populate one of the SFP's with a GBIC, I should still be within the maximum bandwidth available from a regular 32 bit PCI bus.
Anyone have any better options I should look at?
Thank you,
