Make sure there is room on your board if you only have a PCI slot, 18 Oct 2011

This review is from: Intel PRO/1000 MT Dual Port Server Adapter - Network adapter - PCI-X - EN, Fast EN, Gigabit EN - 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 1000Base-T - 2 ports (Personal Computers)
I purchased one of these for use in a VMWare ESXi server; it has worked great. However, the server I purchased it for I couldn't use it in. The PCI-X section of the card is optional, of course; it will work in a regular PCI slot. However, the board I tried first to put it in had a chipset directly beyond the end of the PCI slot and so it couldn't fit. I even considered using a dremel tool to cut off that section of the card, but ultimately just put the card in a different server.
Once in a server that the card fit in (still PCI only, also a VMWare ESXi 4.1 box) it has worked perfectly ever since.

A great product, you can always trust Intel Network Adapters, I recommend it for anyone looking a reliable adapter for small servers or high-end workstations, specially is you have plans to use O/S like Linux.I liked it so much.

The original NIC I ordered unbeknownest to both parties ended up being a 64Bit PCI/x card. It is for Rack mount 1U servers.
Jim, who handled my account the whole time offered some suggestions. I ended up finding the NIC card that would fit my 32 bit slots, and also purchased a USB 3.0 upgrade PCIx1 card. They responded exceptionally quickly to emails and phone calls. They were lightning fast at getting my replacements to me when we figured out the SKU that would work for me.
I just dropped off my RMA to them for the original card. From what I understand this company handles thousands of electronic parts.
I don't hesistate in the least strongly recommending doing any purchases you can through Online Direct. Thanks again Jim, and I hope you and yours and your colleagues have a wonderful set of holidays if you so celebrate them. gk
