Voska, I didn't really expect anything more thant what you've just shown us. The card can only do so much in terms of increasing network performance. It would be nice to see something so enthusiastic in a router instead of a network card. Seems like the manufacturer of the "K" forgot that most...

I already found a better use for it ... slowly gouging my eyes out.

They should have a collective agreement with the viagra guys - their slogan can be "we give you a hard-on that'll enlarge your virtual-penis 10-times over!". Sounds fun, sign me up! 7

I don't agree with you - the physics cards really are worth it ! ... or not. I actually thought that that fad would last a little bit longer, but maybe I was wrong. On that subject, can't wait to see what the AMD+ATI baby turns out to be like.

Kinda like the guys who claim that there's a discernable difference between running two 6800GT's versus two 7800GT's... Yeah, I'd believe anything when I blatantly wasted my money.

LOL In reality, cards like my dual-port 10/100 Compaq server NICs (IBM processors) are plenty for the home / light server user (without going giabit). The cards allow for port aggregation, fail-over, etc, and can be picked up off of ebay for about 1/10'th of the price of the "killer". Even the...

Fellow faster-than-run-of-the-mill-connection sharer, you know my pain. Bandwith limits remain bandwith limits, regardless of the PC being used. Having a faster router on the other hand makes a hell of a difference.

Exactly what I said before; $300 / year is $25 / month, which increases your connection speed up to the next package (unless you're at the highest speed already). Otherwise, if the are you live in is already wired with fiber-optic, $300 is pretty much the price you'll pay to have the fiber-ISP...

$100 if you swipe off the heatsink ...

Nice to see you too Wusy, Funny thing is you're probably right with regards to the 3Com cards, and even those are expensive LOL. That Killer NIC is faster than my first Windows 95 PC (P133, 32mb RAM). Funny the way things change...

Flakes, I'd love to believe that it does indeed offer a ping and fps improvement in games, but come on - putting your computer in the fridge will do the same. Its not a matter of how smart someone is when considering the purchase of this card, its really how well the manufacturer is able to...

Whos seen the newest addition to the enthusiast workshop? Bigfoot Networks' "Killer NIC". Can be seen at http://www.killernic.com. The funny thing about the killer NIC is that, even though it’s a great card (by spec at least), the 5% processor useage makes me think "overkill". As is typical...

dude, why would you upgrade ? the bubbles you're getting are because you're actually turning the thing off and on again.. the 1250 would do the same thing... just don't turn it off, its your best bet (besides, why would you turn a computer off :lol: ) <b>and now for something completely...

crashman's got the right idea, but if you want to avoid modifications, Vantec makes a nice VGA fan called the Iceberq and Iceberq Pro.. otherwise, Thermaltake's Crystal Orb is nice, but loud (and just as performant as the Vantecs) <b>and now for something completely different</b> ...<b><A...

also, thats generally reffered to as a water-chiller... but its a pain in the arse. you're better off making TEC based water-chiller, save you some cash and provide something a little more performant. and, other than having to worry about sealing up your pc components, remember - you've got to...
