Killer gaming network card

Any one else think that heat sink would make a decent knuckle duster after a bit of sharpening?

Haha if you wanted to chop your own hand off then yea.

I don't think I would even buy one if I had the money to burn. Surely a nice intel one would be equally as good.
 
I remember back in about 1999-2000, 3COM came out with a "gaming modem." I paid $184 for it. It was probably the same as this. A hardware modem that used it's own CPU instead of the CPU in the computer to do it's work. With that being said I was upgrading from a 56K winmodem which did hog the CPU at times so I noticed a difference, for the 3 weeks I had it before my phoneline got struck by lightning and it died. If i remember correctly my pings were less than 200ms sometimes. I really did pay over the odds for it though.
 
its no better than a decent network card.

It was suppose to impress all the onboard kids who dont use proper sound/lan and stick with the onboard which is more resource intensive.

Care to elaborate? My gigabit onboard nic on my P5KC certainly does not affect my performance in games... The gigabit cards these days onboard have dedicated processors to handle networking data you know.

If you still think otherwise then you're still living in the year 2000.
