Introduction
The intelligent PCI-1625U is virtually a self contained computer. The card has an onboard DSP processor that takes over the processing load from the host PC. When you are transferring large amounts of data from multiple ports, servicing the interrupts alone consumes a large percentage of the capacity of your computer’s CPU.
