Does not work with Win 10 64

I purchased this on Dec 9th, 2019 for Windows 10 64 bit. I have a 300 gb IP internet speed, however, this care does not go any higher than 89 gb. Waste of money!

only get 150 mb download

I installed and updated the driver for Windows 10 and used a CAT6 cable less than three feet from my router and only get 150 mb download. Although, on my mobile devices I get almost 500 mb.

Great upgrade!

I replaced 100mb Network cards in ten WinXP PCs with the StarTech 10/100/1000 cards, and the upgrade went great. All the drivers installed no problem, and the response time improvement on the network was exactly as I hoped - lightning fast!

Works With Windows Server 2003 on DELL PowerEdge

This RealTek GB NIC works great in our older DELL PowerEdge 2850 server!! We needed to replace an Intel Pro/1000 MT GB server adapter that went bad and bought another Intel GB adapter but the server would/could NOT recognize the new Intel NIC. Tried everything to remove the installed Intel NIC driver so it would take the new Intel NIC but the Intel NIC just would not be recognized - driver would not install correctly. The SOLUTION was to install the RealTek GB NIC card (non-Intel NIC). The RealTek NIC was recognized by the server upon bootup. I updated the RealTek driver that was installed by Windows Server 2003 using the CD that came with the NIC card. It worked with no problem. Am going to team two of them in the server later. Note: Make sure you update any driver installed automatically by your computer, itself, with the CD driver.

Works with Win 98 Se

Installed this in my Win 98 gaming rig, Drivers installed nicely and easy. Speed is in between 100-1000 some times limited to PCI bus speed or Hard drive transfer pending what hard drive I am using, Got a slight boost on download speeds too, still a farcry away from getting my 30 mbps connection.

Great NIC Card

Installed the card on a XPS Dimension Generation 4 desk top, easy install, and more than doubled the down load speed from 300kb/s to 700kb/s. I would highly recommend this card.

No Idea

I purchased this product as a second port to an XPS8300 that was ordered at the same time. Unfortunately, there were no spare slots that this card would fit into so I have no idea what the performance is like. ADVICE: talk to a Dell rep to find out what spare slots are available because that type of information is no where to be found in the specifications online...
