I have a PC that serves as a home server, high demand and from which I live moult sharing media files, some up to several gigabytes in size. I started by using the integrated Ethernet jack to the motherboard (PC Dell XPS), the card fell HS after a few months of use. Then I went through a TPLINK network card on PCI port, which lasted until today but the fluidity was not satisfied. After reading the very positive feedback on the Intel card, I made the move without me too illusions about the main findings are that difference. Well I confirm everything that has been said, my full HD files of several gigabytes are instantly played back on PCs on my home network, without any stutters, navigating mapped network folders show no slowdown, the sharing of TV streams via DVBLink is super fluid, short my home network has finally found the card, without ruining myself, but that fits perfectly my need, and, best of all, she was immediately recognized by Windows (Pro 8.1) and any operational result. In short, I recommend this card to anyone who has a need and a similar configuration to mine.
