Bigfoot Networks Back with Killer Xeno PCI-Express NIC

Look at how the Xeno Ultra looks like...wow.

What will make or break the killerNIC is the FNA Apps. Development of FNA Apps from BigFoot has more or less stalled. There is the same number of apps as the original K1. And I haven't see any body else bother to make more FNA Apps.

Waste of cash. NIC=NIC it's all processed the same way, information is sent the same way it doesn't change.

There definitely is a difference between various chips, though this isn't exactly my idea of what a NIC should be. The fact that it's basically a complete system is interesting though, it could run other applications. Would be nice to use as firewall/router in a small office.
 
I want the ultra...yes i want

Hey, it has a USB port though xD

Plug in a USB drive. Use the bundled FNA bittorrent app. The NIC will save your download onto that drive with zero system overhead.
 
Now that is a cool feature!
 
LOLz^

What about companys \ people who run there entire net work though one computer. As i did as there was 4 computers involved which allowed me to balance the internet speed required for each computer usage and needs..

I already have a dedicated downloading machine, specifically so that I don't have to leave my power hungry gaming machine on 24/7.:laugh:

Considering that a dual-port Intel Pro/1000 is cheaper than a single Killer NIC (and I'd want two), I'm going to stick with the former in my router box. It would be hard enough going to my boss trying to explain the need for Killer NICs :D But sir, they make the Internet ZOMG aweomse!!!!!1
 
Does the killer NIC still operate when the computer is turned off? Seeing how it doesn't seem to have any real heatsink power consumption must be low. Low enough to operate when the computer is off though? For instance, I can charge my phone battery while my computer is off.
If it can operate under such conditions it would be very interesting.
 
then I would beg my dad to get me one :D

What have you done with Dan? The comments I've been seeing from you have been far to nice. Where is our sarcastic dick head Dan at?
