I am upgrading my internet to a 10GB optical connection and this card is a piece of the puzzle. The card its self works fine in its own right, but the big show comes later when this "new" company, Sonic gets their hardware in place. This is going to Rock.

So, I bought this for future-proofing purposes, and I’ve certified that it works, but I don’t actually have 10Gb Ethernet in my house yet. ($1,000 for a switch?? Get out of here!!) so I assume it functions well at 10Gb, but I don’t actually know.
I would recommend this product to a friend!
