Thank you for choosing the Gigabit fiber Ethernet Card for 32/64-bit
PCI Bus-equipped personal computers. The Gigabit fiber Ethernet
Card is ideal for speeding up data transfers for network servers and
other computers, such as those used for video-conferencing, that send
and/or receive large amounts of data. It also includes the newest
networking technologies, such as VLAN and multicasting support,
that use network bandwidth more efficiently and further help the card
maximize data throughput.
