Compaq Etherworks 1000 PCI

Compaq Etherworks 1000 PCI ... Gigabit Ethernet technology to support your most demanding, data-intensive Internet/intranet applications. The adapter incorporates a Universal 32-/64-bit, 33-to-66-MHz PCI I/O bus interface that allows it to be installed in both Intel and Alpha Systems, Servers and workstations. The solution is the DIGITAL PCI-to-Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.

The DIGITAL PCI-to-Gigabit Ethernet Adapter propels Ethernet bandwidth a whole order of magnitude from 100 Mb/s to 1000 Mb/s. At the same time, the adapter architecture incorporates hardware accelerator features to facilitate the reduction of host CPU packet processing overhead, at both the protocol stack and driver levels, by up to two-thirds or more. The evolution to truly high-performance local area networking is just beginning. You get standards-based, full-duplex point-to-point, and switched Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, along with intelligent direct memory access management to minimize CPU overhead. In full-duplex mode, the DIGITAL PCI-to-Gigabit Ethernet Adapter is capable of delivering an aggregate throughput of up to 2 Gb/s, minimizing the chance of the adapter being a bottleneck for your high-performance network applications. The result - a high-performance, low-latency, Ethernet connectivity solution to optimize system utilization throughout your intranet. It is the ideal way to get the most out of your long term Internet/intranet system investments. Gigabit Ethernet can give your intranet the performance boost it needs to keep up with demanding I/O intensive applications. But to really exploit the full capacity of this cutting-edge technology, you need a network adapter that is optimized for 1000-Mb/s connectivity, and architected to take full advantage of the Industry’s highest performance 64 bit Application Solution.
