The KillerNIC adaptor may be the latest trend in gaming hardware

Bigfoot Networks has announced its Killer Network Interface Card. The new Gigabit KillerNIC is catered towards the hardcore gamer that requires every drop of performance possible from a gaming system. Utilizing a 400MHz network processor with 64MB of dedicated PC-2100 DDR memory, the Killer NIC has plenty of power to perform Gigabit transfer rates without hogging up too many CPU cycles.

This kinda looks like the Intel NIC's I use... Intel has it's own CPU on their NIC's for years already. All my NIC's have an integrated encryption co-processor.

And I actually do notice the difference btw!

I take it you have to have one of these in every computer to be able to transfer that fast
