Advantages: good, fast, cheap
Disadvantages: Nothing

...as lasting, after the installation and the installation what both rather quickly and simply went, to this day, had never to open my computer because of this card I it works faultlessly to this day. I use it for my small network, what consists of three computers or if friends come to the gamble to me. Up till now I didn't as said have any problems with it yet and I think I am also absolutely satisfied with their speed who already needs a 1000 Mbit card at home, then?
