I only have one Ethernet port on my motherboard and i want to put my ps3 online. Will this card do the job and will it affect the speed?

It will not affect the speed, but perhaps what you really need is some kind of desktop network switch instead. Plug both your workstation and your PS3 into the switch. Search amazon for desktop network switches.

Even you install it is a x 16 slot, it only use up 1 Lan ( 1 x ), so maximum speed is stil PCIe Ver 2.0 1 X ( 5Gbps, about 4XX MB/s )

Greg. After buying a lot of different cards and cables, I finally plugged right into one of the existing USB3 connections in my computer case from my new motherboard. It is blazing fast and I have experienced no failures yet. I could re-install a firewire card and get faster speed for downloads, but I haven't found many affordable firewire cards that are campatable with my motherboard and inexpensive as well. So I decided to use the existing USB3 connections. The USB technology is an advancement over firewire connections by giving you more connections, but you give up some of the speed capabilities for downloads. Carefully select a card to buy if you choose to do so, each card (firewire and USB) are different and nothing from the manufacture says it will work in your motherboard or application. My needs are for storing video for broadcast TV programs and to edit them. Your needs may be similiar, or less equipment intensive than mine. So make your selection based on your needs or you could keep spending a lot of money on cards and cables and nothing work according to expectations....

Yes! I used it for my PS3. No formatting required, plug and play and no difference in speed

I bought it for my Y2P. It worked much better than the original card but I would still lose connection from time to time. Not sure about updated Bios but I had upgraded about a month ago before selling the PC.

You can plug the ethernet cable straight into the motherboard. No need to buy yourself a PCI card for it

I believe all 4 ports work at once. The reason I say that is: My card always tries to enumerate all 4, and, because only the 2 eSATA are in use, I get a 30 second delay every boot.

Yes. But if you are looking to support the very latest games, at the highest speeds, then it may not be what you want. It will run them but not as well as the faster machines with very high giga hertz video cards. It is very very good but not the cutting edge now. I hope this helps

Yes it does seem to perform well for online gaming. Much more so than wireless cards, I've been impressed with it.

My assumption is yes, only because this is the first USB 3 card that I bought that REALLY gives me USB 3 speeds. Be careful purchasing hubs though. Cheaper isn't always better.

Neither is compatible (at least not even kinda easily). But it's a desktop, so you should be wired anyway for internet. (The wired NIC is compatible.) But yes - if you want either you'll need separate cards.

Hi. I tried it in an external enclosure for my Windows 7 tower, and it did not work. It is likely that it was a chipset issue with the computer, but I have no knowledge about whether it will work with a ps3.

The ports are USB 2.0 and the Ethernet port is 100 Mbps. However, I have a USB 3.0 hard drive connected to my router and I really don't see a difference in bandwidth between the 2.0 and the 3.0. The 3.0 never reaches past 400Mbps in throughput.

Guys,This router will work fine with your ps3. Once configured (it comes with easy to follow instructions on how to set it up) Your playstation will automatically pick up its wireless signal. Or, if you chose not to use the ps3's wireless capabilities, you can just run an ethernet cable from the router to the back of your playstation (this is what i do). Either way it will work fine and you'll be online getting pwnd like a n00b in no time.

This card will give you two USB 3.0 ports and close to the 3.0 USB speed. But it will not affect the speed of your e-sata port (unless it is being physically being replaced by this card.)My peraonall experience is that this card would not power my External USB HDD.

Only for the two USB 3 ports to work. Everything else will work fine. If you do not have a USB 3 connection on your motherboard, you can get a pci-e USB 3 card for cheap (~ $10)and use that. Just make sure that it also has the internal connectors.

Yes this adapter should help and make your connection to your ps3 more reliable and faster. If you have an n router you should have an n reciever and i dont believe that the ps3 has a n reciever in it. And if it does it isnt as good as the linksys n gaming adapter. i would recommend buying this adapter to improve your gaming experience.
