My default NIC for my Solaris 10(_x86, AMD Quad-core) and works as expected. Solaris has already have driver installed.
I bought this because my Striker II integrated NIC on my Vista 64 would continually (a couple of times a day) bug out with "losing its default gateway". I also noticed that opening a large set of tabs in Mozilla was pretty slow.The Intel card installed simply and didn't even require an additional driver (in Vista 64). I have had no further problems and can tell a difference on page load time with ~8 tabs opening concurrently.The Intel had a great price, easy install, and performs flawlessly on my 100 Mbps network.
This network adapter was purchased to replace an old and defective 100mbit network card. This card installed flawlessly into my Linux PC and almost installed automatically. The setup for this device was very straightforward and I know that I can rely on the Intel brand to stand up in terms of quality and longevity.I would highly recommend this card to anyone who runs a Linux PC and who needs a network card. While I cannot vouch for this card working in a Windows OS environment, I'm rather confident that if it can run in the Linux environment, it can run just as flawlessly in Windows.
I downloaded the software before I installed the adapter. I have a Dell Dimension that I bought in 2002 and for a long time suspected a bad network card. Turned on the computer and XP took care of the rest. After doing some research on various options, including reviews of network adapters on Amazon, I purchased the Intel PRO/1000 GT PCI adapter. It was easy to install. My internet connections have never been better or faster. Great product.
We were using the old ethernet capability which came with the PC's (the integrated ethernet on the PC motherboard). At first I thought they were missing status LED's as there were holes in the back where LED's usually sit. We recently upgraded our primary switch from fast ethernet (10 / 100 ethernet) to gigabit ethernet (10 / 100 / 1000 ethernet).The majority of our older PC's couldn't support gigabit ethernet. In my family we have a network which has grown and grown. Windows Vista immediately installed drivers on boot, as did the Windows 7 RC.While I don't use Linux, this card has extensive Linux support, great Windows support, and is overall a well built ethernet device. The result is an improved internet and LAN experience.These are small PCI OEM cards.
These cards can offload some of the overhead your PC CPU would normally handle.
These older PC's supported fast ethernet, which is slower than gigabit ethernet.When looking for a new gigabit card to upgrade these PC's, my goal was not only gigabit speed, but also overall performance, then price.There is no shortage of inexpensive ethernet cards, not only here at Amazon, but at other online stores (who shall remain unnamed :).
I downloaded drivers for this card from the intel.com website before installing them.
Our LAN has become increasingly significant to us.
It turns out the LED's are flat on the card and shine through the holes in the metal on the back.
Few had the high reviews of this intel ethernet NIC, and few seemed to claim performance enhancing technology.
The price for this card is slightly higher than other gigabit cards, but we have noticed a performance improvement even when using fast ethernet (the old ethernet).
It was necessary to have drivers for this card before switching over to it on Windows XP Home.
I would purchase again in the future is new cards were needed.
