Netgear GA311NA 10/100/1000 Gigabit PCI Network Card RoHS

Comment:
This card is very small in design like most other NIC cards on the market. The reason that there is a performance issue with this card is because it uses the PCI interface. Have yet to see PCI-E Gigabit cards at consumer level prices so this is the next best thing performance wise. From 2 GA311 connected to a GS105 I'm getting roughly 200Mbit practical throughput. I suspect the PCI interface of the cards are affecting performance. With a regular Fast Ethernet network I was pulling about 50-60Mbit/sec. This is 4x the performance increase. Overall very satisfied with the product.
