Circuit City once had this for on sale price: $30
So it's not hard to image online stores like Newegg will have this low price.
My roomate has this for his 5 year-old laptop and the result is very good. He even had to add extra RAM to handle the high speed download

I got one and never gotten anywhere near the max rated connection. most I got was 120mb/s from what it states as 300mb/s. That's with me standing next to the wireless N router. Not bad for the price since it's much better than wireless G. Oh well than you have to have a wireless N router too.

#3: you're only getting 120mb/s because your router is currently set to be at G/N hybrid mode. If you set your router to purely Draft-N mode, your connection speed should be 300mb/s.

You're not the only one to miss out #7... NewEgg cancelled my order... Just found their e-mail. Said it was a mistake because they received more orders than what they have in stock. !@$#%
