Bigfoot Networks Killer NIC (Network Interface Card)
Snake oil, a waste of $278 or the answered prayers of hardcore gamers?

I don’t know about this one. Seems too good to be true. I know all about that old say as well. I really can't understand how much impact (as much as Bigfoot claims) my NIC can have on the ping times I receive. Last I knew that has a whole lot more to do with ISP's and their networks, along with the net code the game uses. We shall see.
I do know I would love to see some reviews on this product, how about you?

Lag and Latency Reduction Technology is the power behind the Killer. This revolutionary chipset allows the Killer NIC to offload the network stack from the CPU. This not only means your CPU has more cycles, but also that Killer can completely bypass windows when delivering data to your games. Bypassing windows reduces your latency, and minimizes the interrupts on your CPU, The Killer’s NPU also is designed specifically for online gaming, and handles gaming network traffic much more quickly and efficiently than standard networking products.

The best part is that LLR is plug’n’play, and requires no software changes by game developers. This means that you can just plug the Killer in, and get the benefits right away in your favorite online game.
