D-LINK DFE-538TX 10/100 ETHERNET ADAPTER PCI
Cons:Wish lights were sometimes a bit brighter

Pros:PriceSpeed
Comment:
The D-Link DFE-538TX is a great NIC at a great price. It's lasted me years now, and I've never experienced problems with it. If I had one qualm, it would be that sometimes the lights don't go bright enough for me to see. Oh well, seeing as how I use those lights less than once a year.

This card is one of the few low priced cards that support windows, linux and mac systems. I needed for a mac so that's why I bought it. So far everything is working great.

D-LINK DFE-538TX 10/100 ETHERNET ADAPTER PCI
Cons:it has some problem with older computer

Pros:very basic NIC
Comment:
I have 2 of these NIC, worked fine, it can share the internet if you know how to do it.(crossover cable) It has some driver compatable issue with older computer pre-win98. It cann't recognize itself, you need to manually install the driver. It shouldn't have too much problem after windows xp. Although it is 10/100 transfer speed, the news ones has up to 1000 MBps.

Works fine, no problems encountered. I have 2 of these (got them for $10 with pricematch) I'd recommend using these if you don't have an onboard nic adapter.

D-LINK DFE-538TX 10/100 ETHERNET ADAPTER PCI
Cons:A little large compared to other NIC's the width of just the jack pretty much. But a meaty card does look kind of nice if space isn't an issue.

Pros:A cheap, but reliable NIC. Has the good D-Link name. Supports 10 and 100 base T (pretty standard).
Comment:
A good all around card. Other models may be cheaper, but unless you are really going tight budget this is a good pick. May be a bit large for a custom PC.

Cons:- No complaints

Pros:- Fast- Reliable
Comment:
My onboard LAN went about half a year ago. As soon as it went, I rushed out to buy this Ethernet card. Easy installation, and not one problem. I believe mine came with a Wake-On-Lan cable as well, I just don't use it. I have a 10 year warranty on this card I'm sure too... there was a sticker on the box.Great card, highly recommended for it's price.

I have had this card for a few years and have not had a problem as of yet. It's decent if you are on a dsl or low speed cable connection, but I wouldn't recommend it if you are playing newer games over a lan

D-LINK DFE-538TX 10/100 ETHERNET ADAPTER PCI
Cons:about 6 times slower then any other card, even older ones, cause rouer to malfunction and shut down

Pros:inexpensive and works (not well)
Comment:
What can I say except Do not buy this product, save ten dollarss and go for less expensive ones, because this card S-U-C-K-E-D, this is a terrible product, its literaly six times slower then any other card ever, and because its slower but it reads that its 10/100, my server/router goes down, because it cant take the "foreign" connection, this isnt a good product, dont buy it. thats all i have to say
