killer K1 network card...

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...332&CatId=1175

ok, i just learned about this product, how many have used or know of it?

a network card with its on proc sounds kinda um.. overkill.. its just small amounts of data. Would it really matter that much? i mean LAG normally comes from packetloss between the server to the computer or slow connection in general..

Well, I believe it was in maximum pc, they did multiple tests, and the card actually improved framerates and ping by a good deal. Especially in CS:S

But other reviews i've read pretty much point to a 0% increase.

I would personally stay away from it... From what I have read, it does more harm than good. Not only in terms of in-game performance, but in many cases, ping times actually increased.

Unless you belong the have to have the absolute best performance at any price crowd, this thing seems to be a waste of money. You can get a decent Gigabit LAN card for around $30.
