Gamers NIC
#1
I was browsing newegg and this caught my EYE, its a Gamer NIC and pretty impressive, but its $280 and I don't think its work it.

Its pretty much linux on a card, it has a 400MHz CPU and 64MB DDR ram.

Because it by passes the windows stack you gain a nice FPS increase. You can also use it to run applications such as ventrilo on the card, again not touching your CPU

Pretty unky if you ask me. More information can be found here:

and can be bought here:

It does help, and because it runs linux you can install a virus scanner to scan files before it reaches your computer. and it won't use your CPU.

So in someways i guess it can be worth the $280, but i don't think there is enough to justify the price tag.

I'll stick with my Marvell Yukon 1Gbit/s
I can buy soooo many good and more useful stuff for that money

even though only like 5 games currently use the physx gard, and when more games support it, there will be better physics cards
