Intel Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter Product Details

Intel Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter
For PCs with PCI Express (PCIe*) slots, the Intel Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter offers the newest technology for maximizing system performance and increasing end-user productivity. Specifically, the Intel Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter uses auto-negotiation to allow the adapter to run at the highest available network speed (10, 100 or 1000 Mbps), and it maintains full bandwidth capacity with the dedicated 2.5-Gbps bandwidth of a PCI Express input/output (I/O) bus to provide connectivity you can count on. Fast servers and server connections are important for high network performance. However, server speed cannot overcome the drag of slow desktop performance. This is because when a desktop PC initiates a transaction with the network server, the server quickly performs its portion of the transaction, but must wait for the desktop PC to complete its part of the transaction. The slower the PC, the longer the server must wait for transaction completion before moving to the next transaction.

THIS PRODUCT SHIPS IN OEM PACKAGING - GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN
Manufacturers sometimes offer discounts when large quantities of products are purchased without fancy, colorful, retail packaging. We take advantage of these opportunities to bring you the same quality, retail product at a lower price. Retail packaging is designed to look good on a store shelf and attract your attention. It frequently includes more paper, plastic and cardboard than needed. OEM packaging is not as visually attractive but is far more economical and because OEM packaging uses less paper, plastic, ink and cardboard it creates less waste and is better for the environment. Although OEM packaged product ships in a plain white or brown box you can be assured it is the same quality product as the retail packaged version. Buying OEM packaged products saves you money and helps save the planet…GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN. Included accessories, software, documentation, and manufacturer warranties on OEM products may vary from retail versions. Please review our detailed specifications and photo gallery for included accessories and see below for warranty information.

Be prepared to jump through hoops!

I've had better luck installing drivers for $5 NIC's. First of all, the Windows 7 drivers act like they work, but always reports network cable unplugged. Good luck finding the right drivers at the Intel website, it's a long process clicking dozens of pages deep. I've avoided Intel products ever since they declined to honor their warranty on a batch of 15 motherboards that had capacitor failure back in 2006. I decided to try them again, and I should have known better. Also, once you DO find the drivers you have to extract them manually with Winrar or similar, so that Intel doesn't install it's crapware. On first reboot, expect a BSOD, then re-install card and drivers and pray. Will never purchase another Intel product.
