Myrinet.  The scientific labs that build those large Beowulf clusters
that you hear about swear by it.  These cards give you full duplex
1.28 Gigabit/second links.  See

I have heard that this is quite a pricey solution, however, so you might
want to also look at ordinary gigabit ethernet.  See

I don't have direct experience with either solution.
