Cons: -need to install drivers
Pros: -newer box looks cooler-works great for pc's without ethernet-no configuration needed Comment:
It works and that's all that is needed. I installed this on my old p4 gigabyte mobo that didn't have ethernet (dam sis chipsets) and it works like a charm. |

Cons: Nothing notable
Pros: Cheap, good performance, OSx86 support Comment:
I bought this because OSx86 wouldn't recognize the NIC on my ULI based motherboard. I was expecting a Realtek 8139 based chipset, which has full support in OSX but was disappointed to find a Via Rhine chipset instead. I did find a driver that worked however so it turned out alright. Works fine so far in OSx86, Vista and 2003 Server. |

Pros: Easy Install, Works with Older Version Desktops Comment:
It's a little confusing with what you do with the cord that comes in the box with the card, all the installation guides don't mention it, but the truth is, the card works fine without it |

a great nic, better then some onboard nic's. Almost never breaks down. Good bang for the buck. not a gigabit nic or wireless but for 11 bucks you can't complain. These things last forever. |

Cons: no gigabit
Pros: cheap price, very small Comment:
A simple LAN card for a good price. You plug it in, and your basically done. The card comes with everything and does what I need. In case the mainboard lan dies I have an easy backup. |

Pros: CheapVery reliableHigh compatibility Comment:
D-link is my personnal reference for cheap, good quality NICs. I put 3 of those in my personal smoothwall plus in many others firewalls/fileservers and had no problem with them since I have them. They have been detected without problem by every OS I use (Windows, Linux, BSD) and are rock solid ever since. |

Cons: Only getting around 40 meg transfer speed
Pros: CheapReliable Comment:
I have about 30 of these, and so far no problems. It's a very simple NIC with no real extra features, but it's great for your average client computer. Driver instilation is also VERY easy and takes around 30 seconds. |

Pros: Inexpensive Comment:
I bought this for my Mother-in-law when she upgraded to high speed internet. At first the computer would recognize the card but it wouldn't work properly. After some troubleshooting I remembered a proplem with her computer and having two pci cards, so I removed her old modem and bam! everything worked like a charm. Works great and can't beat this price. |

Pros: +Plug and Play+Didn't even need to use the software Comment:
Most new motherboards come with onboard ethernet adapters, but for those that don't, you can put one of these in your PCI slot. I didn't even need to use the software that came with it and both Ubuntu and WinXP detected them fine and I had quickly had Internet connection. |

Pros: Fast, Stable, Low Pice$ Comment:
I got this card because the marvel lan card on my Asus A8V Delux started crapping out after 1 month. This lan card is stable and consistant. I have no connection problems and its runing faster than my old lan card. If you need a lan card buy this one, dont let the low price fool you (it is a quality product.) |

Pros: Cheap!Easy to installReliable Comment:
I have been using this adapter for approx. 4.5 years. It is the only original part left in my computer, and I have seen no reason to upgrade it, as it has never given me a problem. If it crapped out on me, I buy the same one again. |

Pros: - easy to install- reliable- fast Comment:
I've used this NIC since 2000 in various applications (work and home). I've never had a problem with installation or use. Install is simple and straight-forward. Drivers install with no hitches. Maxing out the card's bandwidth produced nothing strange. It's a pretty basic card that works and works well. |

Id have to say its a great simple card.Does its job and doesnt crap out like my other ones when downloading big files. Plug and play makes installation a snap and hey for 12 bux you cant go wrong. |
I've bought this NIC for my roommate 'cause the onboard NIC of his motherboard is crappy. It's working fine!!
