Wow, I can't get my head round why anyone would think up a gaming NIC. Bet it isn't cheap either.

I use onboard nForce 4 LAN for my internet connection, and an ethernet cable that's so twisted, kinked, and bent that it's developing slits in the outer layer.

I get 18ms ping in Battlefield 2.

Just think, buy this NIC and you may get 15ms

huh? a network card with 64mb and 400mhz? :S

I can udnerstand a faster processor on it, but 400Mhz i think it overkill, and i can understand some memory for buffering, but 64MB PC2100 is just stupid :rolleyes:

Scary, but true.

And it's a bit pathetic how these companys are preying on some gamer's fears of "not having the best". Gah, like Creative advertising their soundscards for performance reasons. But then, can't blame them if silly people buy them thinking they'll be better gamers because of it.

Yep i agree, theyre all at it in one way or another. 'buy this and get a free go faster stripe for your case! this will boost performance threefold.' the worst part is the sheer amount of people that fall for it.
