Actually it depends on the motherboard chipset. Some chipsets allocate an interrupt per slot, and when you have lot's a traffic between two ports on a dual port card the will increase dramatically, but should get you at 1Gbps, at higer speeds... depends.
It's adviseable to use a 2.6 kernel as the network stack, compared to 2.4, is way better and you can achieve higher speeds.
