I'm thinking about building a 2Tb SW RAID but will wait a few months
because I want PCI-X or similar to get the bandwidth to the gigabit card.

According to Adaptec, their 16 port card with 64bit 66MHz PCI will 
transfer up to 1.5gigabit/s. That's a tad low I must say, that's only 190 
megabytes/s. I've gotten better read performance off of a 3ware card. Good 
enough for feed a gig card though, especially if you have multiple PCI 
buses.
