    Network Adapter

    I would like to replace my built in Network Adapter with a card. The built in is a Intel(R) 82566DC-2 Gigabit Network connection. I'm using Windows 7Pro 64 bit. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    My computer is a HP d5200t and I'm using Windows 7Pro 64 bit. My router is a WRT54GL ver. 1.1 and my cable modem is Linksys BEFCMU10 ver. 4.

    Not sure why you are wanting to disable the built-in adapter, but since you have Linksys devices, this might work for you:

    Is that a 32 or 64 bit device or would it make any difference.

    Note that the 64-bit adapter that I posted a link to is for a 64 bit PCI slot. Chances are your system does NOT have one of these slots.
