If you work in an office environment and you have just upgraded the network using a Gigabit Switch then you will find that some of the older computers on your LAN still don't connect at improved speeds because they don't have gigabit capabilities.

All you need to do is install a PCI Gigabit Adapter to each computer and it will then allow it to connect to your network at lightning speeds for data transfer or application streaming.

D link DGE 528T 10 100 1000Mbps PCI NETWORK adapter NIC

Now Only US $9.50

PCI Gigabit Adapters are really not expensive, they retail at less than $20 for a basic item such as the D-Link DGE-528T which are perfectly adequate for both home and business use.

The DGE-528T will fit into any PC or server with a spare PCI slot, turning it into a high bandwidth workstation or even a server running at 2000mbps full duplex to get the best out of your systems. As well as being able to double the speed using full duplex, this gigabit adapter also provides Wake On Lan availability to allow the machine to be powered on from a remote destination which is a great utility for power management, saving the company money by only having the system powered on when needed.

As well as the DGE-528T there are many other brands of PCI Gigabit Adapters including unbranded models which work just as well, take a look at some auctions below on eBay to try and grab yourself a bargain:
