Are you able to test it in Linux using iperf? Seems that when I test stuff in Linux it approaches the transfer spec, e.g. my gigabit ethernet benches around 950 mbit.

Did 3Com ever make a gigabit product?

They used Marvel/Sysconnect chips for some.

The 3c940 is an example of one of those . It was used as a LOM (LAN on motherboard) solution on boards such as the Asus P4P800 (I had one).
