It is documented as being a PCI-X slot.  I've located quad-port Intel
Pro/1000 cards down to about $60, but the only places I've seen them
significantly below that is on eBay, and I ... just don't have any peace
of mind buying via eBay any more.  It's become a haunt of scammers and
slow-boat-from-China shops.
