Notebook computers are the best solution for people that need portability features and high computing power. Most notebooks available today feature several connectivity options which allow an user to access the Internet or the local network. Whether wired or wireless, the available bandwidth is rather low compared to the desktop computers. That is why users in need of higher transfer rates resort to adapters, much like the Gigabit Ethernet PC Card offered by USRobotics.



The card can easily be plugged through an available notebook CardBus Slot, thus taking the first step in installation process. The device can help the user achieve 1000 Mbps bandwidth, through a Ethernet cable connection, as long as the required steps are taken. While most users won't need the speed which this card can offer, there are a considerable number of users that are in need of high bandwidth Internet connections and the portability power of a notebook computer. The next generation Ethernet technology can be used for transfer and sharing of large files like digital video, high-resolution photographs, or others.



Right after the card has been installed, it can recognize the network speed and adapt itself to a 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps mode. The card also features three LEDs, which will indicate at what speed is the card working, an information that can be used in order to determine if the network is providing the necessary bandwidth. The card is a solution for business and enterprise users, but it can also serve the needs of gamers that need high bandwidths for extreme gaming.



The USRobotics package is pretty simple with the card itself, a Quick Installation Guide and the Installation CD. An you can acquire the USRobotics Gigabit Ethernet PC Card through one of your local online resellers, for an approximate price tag of $50.
