Chapter 1: Introduction

1.1 Product Introduction

PCI Express is the next revolution in I/O interconnect standards

that will deliver the bandwidth and features required by PCs,

consumer electronics and communications devices. The

architecture is a cost-effective, low-pin count, and point-to-point

technologies offering maximum bandwidth, reducing cost and

design complexity and enabling smaller form factors. This card is

the best solution for Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express and the

interface has a potential transfer rates of 2.5 Gbps using a

single-lane (or x1) PCI Express link.

This card is a 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Card, which is

specifically designed to plug into a desktop equipped with an

available x1, x4, x8 or x16 PCI Express slot. It supports high

performance dual channel networking and full duplex

communication to achieve up to 2000 Mbps and fast transfer

rates, yet is compatible with existing Ethernet. It comes with a

comprehensive of software drives for all desktop operating

systems, including Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.
