Bigfoot Networks Unleashes Killer 2100, World's Fastest Gaming NIC

[Mussels]

Ok...sorry for jumping in the thread guys, but a couple questions popped in my mind

answers are now popping into your mind.

So...the KILLER cards are NICs that intend to enhance network stuff, games, but...How does this new iteration performs in non games stuff?
Many questions/scenarios, like:

well, it doesnt do much outside of lower pings a little.

How does it improves tansfers on the very system? Something akin to what TeraCopy <usually> does?

no. its not interfaced with your I/O subsystems at all.

What about p2p? Not only in torrents but...say...emule; where it is usually kindda annoying how you got to test ports-forward-tweak firewalls, etc to get a good ping/rating connection <not to mention that i have had some troubles on getting kad connection on w7> Does this thing >could/can> adress such nuisances?

nope. it cant change the laws of TCP/IP networking, so port forwards and people with slow upload speeds are still going to exist.

Or....what about streaming? Helps on getting something like youtube to behave better- OR more important to stream webcam signals better? With the advent of HD webcams I think thats a fair question.

nope. that comes down to your internet and ISP.

And...and...well, those are the questions I can remember right now
Go on & throw your 2 cents guys.

i will only give you 0.5 cents, due to the global financial crisis

Saw a couple reviews on the new 2100, seems a tad better. And looks like Newegg having it for $79 has helped it get a decent customer rating there.

However, I wish that reviews would add in at least one other dedicated NIC for comparison. The Intel PRO/1000 PT is also $79. I had it's big big brother, the quad-port model. Performance was great, but does it save that extra 5ms - 15ms in games?
