Review: Good Ethernet Card - Bought this in July for the Optiplex 3010 even thought it used the Realtek Chipset for onboard but good thing i am still using the PCIe card for the 3010 because i can use any driver instead of using Dell Drivers also bought this for the Optiplex 990 because it uses the Intel Ethernet and I prefer Realtek more it worked on Windows 7/8.1 with no driver issues used a 2014 driver for the 3010 and a 2013 driver for the 990 still get good mbps download and upload would buy this item again for any other pc As of 11/2/2025 I moved my from the 3010 to the Inspiron 570 i’m using the onboard Ethernet again on the 3010 Review: Works as advertised. Cost effective. - Seems to work well. Installed to replace an old card in a server. Connectivity is good. It’s nice that it comes with different size mounts for different hardware applications. Only time will tell! ## Features - No Driver Needed for Windows 7/10/11, Mac OSX, and All Linux.
