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.
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.
