This review is from : Ez Card 10/100/1000MBPS Pci
Incredible deal works great . I have an older PCI AGP motherboard in this computer and installed Windows 7; my previous gigabit ethernet card didn't have drivers for it. Also I believe the PCI bus is just fast enough to drive the card at gigabit speeds (if some of the packet overhead is added on the card itself).
I wanted the cheapest good card I could find, because it's an older computer. I wanted gigabit because I often copy very large files across my LAN. Gigabit is great- I didn't even have to upgrade my old 100k cables to get the new speed, and file transfers are now pretty fast. Due to the sata drive transfer rates and operating system issues, I don't think a 10 gigabit lan would transfer files much faster (plus it's still pretty expensive). I wanted jumbo frames.
You can pay a way lot more for a PCI gigabit ethernet card, and I doubt the performance is significantly better. I wondered why there is such a huge price differential between apparently equivalent products.
I got this card and it installed real easy, although as I recall I had to hunt for the Windows 7 drivers on the internet (it didn't install correctly "plug and play" for me in 32 bit windows 7, although it is supposed to.)
It seems to run pretty fast- as fast as my old card that was an Intel server model. Also, it claims to do jumbo frames, which mostly much more expensive cards do, and which is essential to the highest transfer rates. I have not however timed the transfer rate.
The card has not given me any problems after a month of use.
The technical details appear at this time to be wrong- for a notebook computer! I believe this describes the product correctly (and the linked page has drivers too):

If you need to find drivers, you can use the product code SMC9452TX-2 or the above link to find them.
This was fulfilled by electronica direct, even though it doesn't say so here, and they shipped the product fast and undamaged.
