I'll assume you meant ">10Mbps". 10Gbps would be a bit faster than a
stock Performa could do.

Adding 100Mbit ethernet to a 68040-based MAC like your Performa 630 IMHO
wouldn't be all that usable. In fact, I don't think there are any >10MBit
cards that will fit into an LC PDS slot unless you're wanting to do 16MBit
Token Ring (and I'm not sure if anyone ever made 16/4 Token Ring cards for
that form factor). You probably could build your own NIC, but that'd be
quite a bit of effort.
