I have not used any gigabit hardware but I know on 100Mbps cards throughput at 
all speeds is noticely improved by enabling full duplex. And that is what I 
suggest to you. I believe you set it with ifconfig but I have not done so 
through ifconfig since 2.2.x.x. Now-a-days most distros allow those changes to 
be made when you're setting up your box during the installation.
