Installation was simple. Open the case, slot card in, boot up, put CD in drive. Windows handles the rest. Once the card is installed simply run the Homefree Network Setup, which will set which computer connects to the net, designate files and prienters for sharing, IP addresses and everything else you need. That means you can transfer aound 600 meg in less than 15 minutes, and small files transfer almost instantly.
Gaming is fast, very fast in fact.
Quake, Quake II, Q3A and Unreal Tournament all give pings of around 54, the lowest possible on a windows system at 10Mbps. Internet Sharing is another of Diamond's selling points. It's a real plus to be able to use the Net on two PC's at the same time, without having to shell out for 2 phone lines and two accounts. This luxury does come at a price, the connection speed is shared, so that means if you're both using the Net at the same time it will be slower than normal. The reduction in speed isn't terrible, but it is noticeable.
