The net4801 actually have plenty of juice on the 5V, as it is not 
generated by a linear regulator like on the net4501.

I theory there should be no major issues stopping a PCI VGA board from 
working in the net4801, but I probably need to do a little BIOS code 
work to make it work. I even already procured a small PCI VGA board for 
testing.

But it not very high of my right now pretty long priority list, so don't 
expect anything soon....
