1.1 Product Introduction
PCI Express is the next revolution in I/O interconnect standards
that will deliver the bandwidth and features required by PCs,
consumer electronics and communications devices. The
architecture is a cost-effective, low-pin count, and point-to-point
technologies offering maximum bandwidth, reducing cost and
design complexity and enabling smaller form factors. This card is
the best solution for Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express and the
interface has a potential transfer rates of 2.5 Gbps using a
single-lane (or x1) PCI Express link.
This card is a 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Card, which is
specifically designed to plug into a desktop equipped with an
