Realtek is the name of a manufacturer of computer components, especially sound cards and network cards.

The program in question is an audio driver (or a network driver depending on the situation), it acts as an intermediary between the user (you) and the sound card (or network card).
  • REALTEK Gigabit and Fast Ethernet NIC Driver is a network driver
  • REALTEK high definition audio driver is an audio driver

Sorry, not always.

If I have a program labeled "REALTEK Gigabit and Fast Ethernet NIC Driver," it's not for sound but for the internet.

Now, since 07/2009, when the software was installed, the environment may have evolved on this old XP that has been enduring since 2002, resisting new versions and memory-hungry updates and gadgets...

I want to know if this old thing (Realtek... NIC Driver) can be replaced (while still staying on XP of course, the computer belongs to a family member who would hardly accept an unjustified migration).

Thank you for the information, I almost made the mistake of uninstalling it.
