Eliminate server bottleneck with 2000 Mbps of bandwidth Help is there when you need it! NETGEAR provides free, 24x7 telephone and e-mail technical support in English with selected local language support during office hours. 2Gbps PCI Gigabit Ethernet Card GA620 As 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet technology becomes very affordable and widely installed on desktops across businesses both big and small, the information bottleneck is being pushed back to the network server. N E T G E A R 's GA620 Gigabit Ethernet Card opens up the bottleneck by providing up to 2 Gbps, or 2000 Mbps, of bandwidth. At the same time, the GA620 features CruiseControl to offload the host CPU, freeing the server to perform other tasks. POWERFUL Provides network input/output capacity of 1 gigabit per second (2 Gbps in full-duplex mode)-10 times that of Fast Ethernet and 100 times that of Ethernet. C O M PAT I B L E Demonstrated interoperability with all major, IEEE 802.3z-compliant Gigabit Ethernet equipment on the market. ACCOMMODATING Includes CruiseControl, a set of functions that offload the host CPU. When traffic load is relatively light, it interrupts the host as soon as a packet arrives in order to maximize response. In heavy traffic, the GA620 aggregates multiple packets before notifying the host. ELEMENTARY While the GA620 provides significant state-of-the-art technology, installation is quick and simple. NETGEAR provides drivers for WindowsNTTM and NetWare that can be installed in several easy, intuitive steps. www.NETGEAR.com
