The EM964 PCI Quartet four-port Ethernet LAN adapter ($798) supports full 132-MBps data transfer over the PCI local bus. Predictive pipelining streamlines data transfers and minimizes system bottlenecks; an on-board bridge enables the adapter to run all four network segments at full cable bandwidth. The Quartet is compatible with full-duplex Ethernet and can increase available network bandwidth to 20 Mbps per segment in switched 10Base-T networks.
