Dell XPS 8900 - i7 6700 - 3.40 Ghz
Can anyone recommend a fast PCIe network card for this machine, that supports at least 1 gig MBPS?
Thanks!

Well, assuming you mean Wifi?
If so, there ARE a lot of cards out there, BUT some specifically call out Win11 only. Reason being, that speed is usually for WiFi 7 adapters, and the 24H2 W11 Update is needed to Support WiFi 7 completely.
However, if you Google this ---> "1gbps usb wifi 7 be adapter" you'll see plenty to look at (BE is the 802.11 standard for wifi speed at 1Gbps and higher).
Of course, you'll need a WiFi 7 router/Deco as well.
On my XPS8940 I removed the Dell M.2 AC wireless card and replaced it with an INTEL BE200 M.2 card, but I also had a Wifi 7 Deco already. 940Mbps is the max for 1Gbps down by the way, and it is hard to hit, generally around 900Mbps +/- is the normal speed.

Do you mean to add to the gigabit Ethernet already onboard?
Just about any standard PCIe gigabit adapter will work.
