PWLA8490XT - Intel PRO/1000 XT Network Adapter PCI-x 1 x RJ-45 10/100/1000Base-T

Today, with more than 85% of desktops running at 100Mbps, virtually every server needs at least one Gigabit connection. Designed to help alleviate bottlenecks wherever you need extra bandwidth, the Intel PRO/1000 XT Server Adapter can also be installed now to accommodate future growth. Intel server adapters are designed to sense when the infrastructure has been upgraded and automatically begin running at Gigabit speeds. This easy-to-scale network bandwidth uses standard cabling so the additional expense of installing new wire is not required.The architecture of the Intel PRO/1000 XT Server Adapter is designed to deliver both high performance and PCI/PCI-X bus efficiency. With the latest bus standard, PCI-X, it is now possible to scale bandwidths of up to 8Gbps. The Intel PRO/1000 XT Server Adapter helps maximize your ability to use this extra bandwidth by automatically sensing the capabilities of the connected server and running at the highest speed possible. It also helps increase bus performance by caching up to 64 packet descriptors in a single burst for increased efficiency.
