PCI Gigabit Ethernet Cards

Anyone have experience with PCI gigabit ethernet cards for use with Linux?

What I am looking for is a good one to go in a firewall box (P3 450 MHz) that won't take too much cpu to run it.  A good 10/100 ethernet card that uses the tulip driver will saturate the net with very little cpu usage.  The $10 TrendNet 10/100/1000 that I have tried saturates the cpu at only 5 MB per sec transfer.
