Intel®PRO/1000 GT Desktop Adapter
Lead-Free Gigabit Performance to the Desktop
Product Brief
Now you can maximize system performance and
increase end-user productivity for mainstream
PCs with the new Intel®PRO/1000 GT Desktop
Adapter. Today’s desktops are weighed down
with high-bandwidth applications including voice,
data, streaming video, video conferencing, and
long-distance storage area networks. The
environmentally friendly Intel PRO/1000 GT
Desktop Adapter’s Gigabit bandwidth makes
quick work of these network applications
with power to spare.
The Intelligent Way to Connect
Built on Intel lead-free technology, the Intel PRO/
1000 GT Desktop Adapter is the environmentally
friendly way to bring Gigabit performance to your
desktop at no extra cost1
. The GT Desktop Adapter
contains no lead and conforms to the European
Union’s Restrictions on the use of Hazardous
Substances and Japan’s White Goods
Recycling Act.
Simplify installation and maintenance with
Intel®SingleDriverTM technology: Intel offers a
single driver across all Intel PRO/1000 Desktop and
Server Adapters making it easier to administer
and upgrade to the latest generation of
Intel adapters, simplifying network manage-
ment and reducing maintenance costs.
High-performing, auto-negotiating 10/100/
1000 connection: Systems that are currently
running at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps can be
upgraded with the Intel PRO/1000 GT Desktop
Adapter now, whether Gigabit switching is
currently available or not. By integrating
an Intel®PRO Gigabit Network Connection
now, information technology (IT) managers
will save time, money and downtime when
the network is upgraded later because the
Intel PRO/1000 GT Desktop Adapter will
automatically detect and run at the higher
speed when it becomes available.
