Airlink PCI Network Adapter with Low-Profile Bracket (AG32PCI)

Small form factor PC I use for TV. Streaming wasn't working. Wireless at 65mbs was ok. Needed a low profile 1gb to be used on my network. Installed in Win7 plug and play.

I have just received and installed this Airlink PCI gigabit card yesterday on my Dell desktop running Vista 32-bit. It worked right away. I would like to point out one difference between the installation of a gigabit card and a wireless USB card in that for the gigabit card the procedure is to install the card first, let the system find the new hardware, then put the CD that came with the package in and guide the system to find the new driver on the CD. The USB wireless adapter most likely needs to have the driver properly installed prior to inserting the card unless you are running Windows 7. A lot of times, the CD is full of different drivers, utilities and tools to meet the needs of different systems and users. Therefore it's a good practice to look at the chipset on the gigabit card that you are installing before inserting, so that you know where to look for it when prompted. In this particular case you need to know it's a Realtek PCI 8110SC. It will be useful when you try to upgrade your driver later. In case your system can't find the new hardware (this happens a lot if you try to use an open slot that's been idle for years), don't worry. Use a vacuum cleaner to suck up the dust accumulated in the slot, insert the card, remove it and insert it back. Repeat if necessary until you get it recognized. Replacing an existing card is less likely to have this problem.

Low profile is great works next to video card with fan

Installed into machine easily, no worries about incompatibility due to PCI voltage. Driver installed without a problem. Working flawlessly and the price was right.
