Some of the DFE-5..TX cards are indeed tulip based and have very good
performance for a reasonable price. Unfortunately sources on the net
disagree which cards have which chipset, so I recommend looking at them
(I bought a new tulip based card here in Germany for 7 Euros). It pays
to request a look at the chipsets of the cheaper cards, they might not
even advertise their chipsets as tulip.
