Yep, that's the one.  I expect it's used for the same reason Via
chipsets are used - cheapness.

Nope, just higher-level consumer class. 3 PCI slots, and 3 PCI-X (plus
the video PCI-X).  We ran out of PCI slots (SCSI, TV Tuner, video (FC4
doesn't support the PCI-X card we originally installed)), and needed a
2nd NIC.
