Howdy Peeps!!

Just had a couple of questions about a network card that I've been "eyeballing"

Although it looks really cool there is really no need for it imo. I use a cheap 10MB nic in my computer. It is true nics take some load off of the cpu but I have downloaded files up to 2 Mb/s without a hiccup on it and I play online games fine. My internet is only 8 Mb/s so anything over 10 is just a waste really. I doubt that thing is worth the improvement it may give.

Read any of the reviews, and no one gained anything from it except a $200 NIC
