UE1205RU Made By:

I must admit, once you get use to 100 Mbps network cards,
there is no going back to 10 Mbps cards. If you thought 10/100 NICs were
expensive, think again. The SmartLink UE1205RU from
Archtek sells for just $19! That's cheaper than a lot of 10 base network
interface cards. Here are the specs:

Ethernet adapter.

The
SmartLink UE1205RU is an auto
sensing 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet PCI formatted card featuring a REALTEK chipset.
The unit is REALLY SMALL. The PCB of the card is not even 1 inch tall. This
works out quite well for overclocked systems as the card doesn't block off any
airflow from nearby fans.
The UE1205RU comes with one 10/100
NIC, an instruction sheet and one floppy disk containing the drivers. pretty
bare bones but at this price, who cares?
