INTEL 9301CT Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter

Newegg is just as fast as this quick nic. My hat is off to all the workers at the Egg.

This is one quick nic. This is a refreshing change from on-board herky jerky LAN. Can't beat the price for what you get. Intel, what can I say? Doesn't get any better than that. Plug and play, instant recongition, easly updates, and zoom, zoom, your...

Great Card, easy install, Windows 7 picked it up right ; away, download drive and off it went

Just check your current LAN connection on your Mobo to ; see if this card is an upgrade. (found out that what I ; had on my Mobo was excatly the same as this card). No real boost for me, my bad)

If you need a network card for a client computer or a server, go with this card, you won't regret it.

Very Fast. Works with Windows 8

The motherboard I have only had 1 NIC so if I wanted teaming I had to have another. Plus I had a bad experience with an Asus NIC and I had no other one to go to except a Wireless card. Not acceptable. This is a good Intel card for the price

None really, it just works, its not the best and it certainly is not the worst, it does the job

If you are having any issues with network streaming, start with replacing adapters with intel adapters.

Price is great ; Speed is great ; Reliability is great ; Drivers are great ; I installed this in my Dell Poweredge T300 using Server 2008 R2, since the broadcom network LOM has been having major issues from the start, even with the latest drivers....

Overall, this is a must for avid gamers. For the average user, I would recommend this card only if the onboard adapter fails on your motherboard, since the average/basic user won't see a huge difference with this NIC.

Lots of options with the Intel driver, much better ping times/download speed compared to Realtek. To find the drivers, open Internet Explorer, go to google.com, type intel in the search box, click on the intel driver update utility, install the add-on...

Kind of expensive

I bought this NIC for my self-made home servers (XPC + Windows Home Server 2011). The card was detected instantly, but I downloaded latest Intel drivers and I was not disappointed: transfer speed immediately was boosted from 30 Mb/s up to 50-60Mb/s

Built-in Windows drivers does not unleash whole power of the NIC. Always install the latest Intel drivers

Easy to install and excellent perform
