Introduction
For
PCs with PCI Express (PCIe*) slots, the Intel®
PRO/1000 PT Desktop Adapter offers the newest
technology for maximizing system performance
and increasing end-user productivity. Specifically,
the Intel PRO/1000 PT Desktop Adapter uses
auto-negotiation to allow the adapter to run
at the highest available network speed (10,
100 or 1000 Mbps), and it maintains full bandwidth
capacity with the dedicated 2.5-Gbps bandwidth
of a PCI Express input/output (I/O) bus to
provide connectivity you can count on.
Enhancing
Desktop Performance Enhances Network Performance:
Fast servers and server connections are important
for high network performance. However, server
speed cannot overcome the drag of slow desktop
performance. This is because when a desktop
PC initiates a transaction with the network
server, the server quickly performs its portion
of the transaction, but must wait for the
desktop PC to complete its part of the transaction.
The slower the PC, the longer the server must
wait for transaction completion before moving
to the next transaction.
