[. . . ] Product Brief Network Connectivity Intel PRO/1000 PT Desktop Adapter ® PCI Express* Gigabit Performance to the Desktop · High-performance, self-configuring 10/100/1000 Mbps connection for PCI Express* slots Easy installation, maintenance and advanced management capabilities Built on Intel® lead-free1 technology · · Connectivity You Can Count On For PCs with PCI Express (PCIe*) slots, the Intel® PRO/1000 PT Desktop Adapter offers the newest technology for maximizing system performance and increasing end-user productivity. Specifically, the Intel PRO/1000 PT Desktop Adapter uses auto-negotiation to allow the adapter to run at the highest available network speed (10, 100 or 1000 Mbps), and it maintains full bandwidth capacity with the dedicated 2. 5-Gbps bandwidth of a PCI Express input/output (I/O) bus to provide connectivity you can count on. Enhancing Desktop Performance Enhances Network Performance: Fast servers and server connections are important for high network performance. [. . . ] PCI Express Can Make Gigabit Ethernet Even Faster: PCIe is a new third-generation I/O standard with performance that supersedes the previous Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) and PCI-X* slot standards. The key to PCIe performance is its higher dedicated I/O bandwidth. Unlike the PCI bus, which shares its I/O resources with all devices on the bus, PCIe dedicates its I/O to a single device. The Intel PRO/1000 PT Desktop Adapter allows you to take advantage of this dedicated I/O by combining Gigabit Ethernet with PCI Express to provide high-performance network connectivity for desktops with PCI Express slots. Quick and Easy Installation: Like all Intel® PRO Network Connections, the Intel PRO/1000 PT Desktop Adapter is supported by Intel® PROSet Utility for Microsoft* Device Manager and Intel PRO Intelligent Install.
