1. Introduction
English
PCI Express is the next generation of I/O interconnection standards to
support the high bandwidth required by PCs, consumer electronics and
communication devices. The architecture is a cost-effective, low-pin
count, and point-to-point technology to maximize the bandwidth, reduce
the costs and design complexity and enable smaller form factors. This
card is the best solution for Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express with potential
transfer rates of 2.5 Gbps using a single-lane (or x1) PCI Express link.
This Card is a 10/100/1000M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Adapter,
which is specifically designed for a desktop computer equipped with x1,
x2, x4, x8 or x16 PCI Express slots. It provides Gigabit connections
with speeds up to 1000 Mbps (1Gbps) raw bandwidth and which is s 100
times faster than the original Ethernet, while compatible with existing
Ethernet. This Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Card equips a high quality
Marvell chipset that is optimized for maximum throughput and low CPU
utilization. It also comes with a comprehensive software driver for all
operation systems, including Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Novell
Netware.
