Holly,

We've had great success with Pentium III CPUs, motherboards based on
the ServerWorks LE chipset, and Intel Pro/1000 F gigabit ethernet
adaptors.

The reason to use the ServerWorks chipset is that it has a 64bit/66mHz
PCI bus, which is required to get good performance for gigabit
ethernet. Tyan and SuperMicro sell motherboards with this
chipset. Some IBM servers are based on the ServerWorks; try the 4500R
(maybe called the xSeries 340). Make sure it has 64bit/66mHz PCI.
