Intel®PRO/1000 PT
Desktop Adapter
PCI Express* Gigabit Performance to the Desktop
•High-performance, self-configuring
10/100/1000 Mbps connection for PCI
Express* slots
•Easy installation, maintenance and advanced
management capabilities
•Built on Intel®lead-free1technology
Connectivity You Can Count On
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.
Enhancing Desktop Performance Enhances
Network Performance: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.

With the PCI Express Gigabit performance to the desktop
provided by the Intel PRO/1000 PT Desktop Adapter,
transactions on the PC side complete significantly faster, allowing
the network to service more transactions faster.
Gigabit Ethernet is Faster than Fast Ethernet: Simply put,
Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) is potentially ten times faster
than Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps). Therefore, upgrading the
desktop to Gigabit performance is an important first step to
higher overall system performance and greater user productivity.
With its Gigabit Ethernet performance, the Intel PRO/1000 PT
Desktop Adapter provides this important upgrade path.
PCI Express Can Make Gigabit Ethernet Even Faster: PCIe
is a new third-generation I/O standard with performance that
supersedes the previous Peripheral Component Interconnect
(PCI) and PCI-X* slot standards. The key to PCIe performance
is its higher dedicated I/O bandwidth. Unlike the PCI bus, which
shares its I/O resources with all devices on the bus, PCIe
dedicates its I/O to a single device. The Intel PRO/1000 PT
Desktop Adapter allows you to take advantage of this dedicated
I/O by combining Gigabit Ethernet with PCI Express to provide
high-performance network connectivity for desktops with PCI
Express slots.
Quick and Easy Installation: Like all Intel®PRO Network
Connections, the Intel PRO/1000 PT Desktop Adapter is
supported by Intel®PROSet Utility for Microsoft* Device Manager
and Intel®PRO Intelligent Install. Intel PROSet simplifies adapter
installation and gives you point-and-click power for configuring
and managing all your Intel PRO Network Connections.
