Hypothetical here, but I want to understand.

Say I have a hand me down machine, 4 PCI slots, 64-bit 33 MHz PCI.

How much data can that PCI bus handle? System bus is 133 MHz.

I want to use one slot for a SATA II card, and the rest for Gig-E cards, building out as fast a NAS as I can. I think one slot may be AGP2x, so that leaves me 2 for Gig-E and one for SATAT II.

Will I saturate, what is the max bandwidth of the PCI bus?
