Summary: Great performance, good variety of platforms supported
Review: This is Bay Networks (Netgear is their consumer line) implementation of the venerable DEC "Tulip" PCI ethernet chipset. There are many manufacturers of 10/100 cards that use Tulip, so you can go by price since they are all pretty much the same. That's what makes this card good -- it's one of the lower priced cards from a respected industry vendor.Tulip cards are known for their low CPU utilization, high throughput and their ability to run on a variety of platforms. I have personally used this card with great success on Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris x86, Windows 95, 98, and NT. I did dock one star however, and that's because their have been some minor problems with the drivers included on the driver diskettes. Those seem to have been fixed with subsequent releases, and the card itself wasn't to blame. If you do have problems, and you can use one of the other Tulip drivers included with your OS, such as the Digital DE500. In fact, Windows may autodetect it as an "Intel 21140 Fast Ethernet" or some such.

Summary: Affordable and very robust
Review: This NIC is very robust as it is easily installed in any Windows computer or even a Linux box. Netgear's website is done very well, in which you can get tech support issues resolved quite easily. I never had to contact tech support due to any of their items that I have purchased. Their web site support is superb. I highly recommend any of Netgear's products.

Summary: Great quality, inexpensive, wonderful buy!
Review: This product works great and was so easy to install. For people that are worried about the installation believe me, so was I. It just pops right in in about 4 minutes (no joke!) The only reason I bought this was for use with my new cable modem. Well, it works fantastic and I have had no problems at all. I give it 5 stars.
