Price
While they didn’t cost much they were very soft and fit okay
I havent had a chance to fully test it yet but if it works correctly this is a good value
Shipping
Threw in an order and 2 days to my doorstep and volia

Packaging/appearance
The gigabit pcie nic with intel 82574l chip arrived in a box inside a clamshell plastic case
Competitiveness
We needed 34bigger pipes34 for concurrent file access on our peer workstation that hosts most of our common files
They are more expensive than some others that are available but i know these will work perfectly especially with a same brand crimper
One to a cisco managed switch and the other to my cable modem sb8200 but i’ll save those for a different review
Since its running an intel chipset it doesnt suffer from the hyperv broadcom chip flaw that remains unpatched by microsoft
