Description:
The Intel PRO/1000 T Desktop Adapter is essential for realizing important productivity gains that are possible in today's desktop environment, where multiple high-bandwidth applications are open simultaneously and large files are routinely shared. If your plans include upgrading to powerful systems with the Intel Pentium 4 processor and the new Windows XP operating system, then you need desktop connectivity that will help you make the most of them. The Intel PRO/1000 T Desktop Adapter provides TCP/IP segmentation offload capabilities that improve performance by reducing the amount of processing that needs to be completed by the computer's operating system. When a large block of data is requested, the OS normally must break the block into packet-sized pieces, and then further process these pieces into packets that can be transmitted on the network.
