  Duration of ownership: 1 Weeks

  Strengths: Gigabit connection, relatively cheap.

  Weaknesses:None

  Overall Evaluation: Nice little Gigabit network card. Allows you to move up to 1Gb/s rates on older computers.I was able to transfer files at 20MB/s sustained with this card with a NAS (DNS-323), an increase from the the standard 4MB/s I was getting with the on-board 100Mb NIC. All that while keeping the same cabling, but replacing the router.All in all, a good buy at a little price.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Low price, speed comparable with Intel 1000MT (desktop) adapter

  Weaknesses:Lacks driver for Windows 2003

  Overall Evaluation: As usual with Netgear, the "current" drivers date from back in 2003 - no updates in more than 3 years... Only bought it because Circuit City had it on sale for 10 dollars and I needed something quick. Would not buy again.
