Bigfoot Networks Killer NIC Review @ HotHardware

By now, we're all familiar with Creative Labs’ Audigy and X-Fi audio processors. A startup known as AISeek is working on an Artificial Intelligence accelerator for the PC. Ageia's PhysX processor is already on store shelves, and the product we'll be looking at today, the Killer NIC, is designed to offload some network functions from the CPU. Bigfoot Networks' Killer NIC is more than just a beefed up network card though. In fact, the Killer is more of a "system on a card" than a NIC.

Who would spend 300$ on some NIC card? What are you getting from it? 29ms instead of 30? 80 FPS instead of 78 FPS? Why would anyone buy it? You can buy some CPU/VGA/RAM/MB instead. Or buy some water cooler and overclock... I would rate this product around to 3-5 because of this price.
