Question 5

will this card work in my ACER M3100 desktop computer????? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Accepted Answer

No reason at all why it won't work as long as you have an available PCI slot to install it.  You didn't mention what operating system you are using.  Just make sure the product comes with drivers for whatever operating system you are using.  I bought it because there were not drivers for my older network card for Windows 7.  Works fine.

Question 6

Will this work in a 10-year-old Dell 8250 Pentium 4?

Accepted Answer

Should, as long as you have a PCI slot you should be good. The MB I stuck it in was about 10 years old. Just check and make sure you have a free PCI slot.

It most definitely is. In order to bring an older ASROCK (socket 775) board to specs for a Windows 7 Home (32 bit) installation I purchased this NIC as one of the components I upgraded. My old NIC was end of life for support. This one still is supported and compatible with Win 7.
