7.1 Specifications
NOTE: “Peak” current specifications are based on measurements taken while the card
was transmitting and receiving large buffers of data. All current requirement measurements
were taken on a Quad core processor 3.4 GHz system.
CAUTION: Power usage is highly system dependent and varies from system to system.
