Summary: Excellent card
Comment: Installed onto a pentium II w/ windows XP. Installed the drivers from the disc and then the card. Took 10 mins. Worked immediately. Excellent for the price. Only 4/5 b/c i've had it for only 30 mins. If it lasts, i'll give it 5/5.

Summary: Mac users: D-Link's claims about compatibility are false. Look elsewhere
Comment: I have a G4 tower Mac that did have a built in Ethernet. Unfortunately, a lightening strike took out the port and I was forced to get a PCI card to replace the port. The first card I bought was the D-Link DFE-530TX+. I was excited because the box clearly said that the card would work with Macs and that the "minimum requirement" was OS 10.2.
They lied. OS 10.2 is the _maximum_ for this card. For most people, it won't work with 10.3 and up. D-Link has no driver for 10.3 or higher, only 10.2. A google search shows that some people have been able to get the card to work with 10.3. I couldn't. I tried several different drivers (some users recommended a driver from Realtek) and none worked.
It's my guess (and totally a guess) that this card is really only for older Macs that are limited to 10.2. D-Link doesn't seem to have any intention of supporting modern Macs.
This is the second D-Link product I've used (the first was a cable modem) and I've been disappointed both times. I can't speak for Windows users, but this company doesn't deserve Mac business.

Summary: Don't Be Fooled By The Cheap Price
Comment: Don't Be Fooled By The Cheap Price! This card is a breeze to install. First install the software, then install the card, turn your computer back on, and your ready for the internet or to connect to a network! I have installed at least five of these cards into computers over the past year, and have not gotten one call that they are not working! This is a great price point, and great product.

Summary: D-Link is D-bomb(good)
Comment: Simple install and it does what it is suppose to with no troubles as yet. I would buy again.
Also, happy with Amazon for fast shipping. Hopefully the future will bring more competitve pricing across the broad categories.

Summary: Works great, no problems
Comment: I purchased my D-Link NIC at Best Buy, but would highly recommend this to the Amazon buyer. Works like a champ. I purchased two more and they worked great as well. Windows XP had its own drivers, no need to install the drivers that are included. I used the card with Win 2000 and Win 98SE in the past and worked like a champ. I would recommend this card to anyone who needs one.
