I was recently given an  Intel PRO/1000T 10/100/1000Mbps
(Gigabit Ethernet desktop adapter) by Microsoft.

It seems like over-kill for me. My hub is still only 10M...
(When I bother to hook it up.)
Are there any particular advantages to me using this card
on a slower network?  CPU load, etc...

It is totally useless (over-kill) for DSL or Cable, (correct?)

When I tried to get a second one at CompUSA (so I could
at least wire two computers to each other with a crossover
cable) I was told they do not have them.
Are they "too new"?, or something from "last January" that
never quite caught on...
