Ok...sorry for jumping in the thread guys, but a couple questions popped in my mind

answers are now popping into your mind.

gallinazo said:
So...the KILLER cards are NICs that intend to enhance network stuff, games, but...How does this new iteration performs in non games stuff?
Many questions/scenarios, like:

well, it doesnt do much outside of lower pings a little.

gallinazo said:
How does it improves tansfers on the very system? Something akin to what TeraCopy <usually> does?

no. its not interfaced with your I/O subsystems at all.

gallinazo said:
What about p2p? Not only in torrents but...say...emule; where it is usually kindda annoying how you got to test ports-forward-tweak firewalls, etc to get a good ping/rating connection <not to mention that i have had some troubles on getting kad connection on w7> Does this thing >could/can> adress such nuisances?

nope. it cant change the laws of TCP/IP networking, so port forwards and people with slow upload speeds are still going to exist.

gallinazo said:
Or....what about streaming? Helps on getting something like youtube to behave better- OR more important to stream webcam signals better? With the advent of HD webcams I think thats a fair question.

nope. that comes down to your internet and ISP.

gallinazo said:
And...and...well, those are the questions I can remember right now
Go on & throw your 2 cents guys.

i will only give you 0.5 cents, due to the global financial crisis

Saw a couple reviews on the new 2100, seems a tad better. And looks like Newegg having it for $79 has helped it get a decent customer rating there.

However, I wish that reviews would add in at least one other dedicated NIC for comparison. The Intel PRO/1000 PT is also $79. I had it's big big brother, the quad-port model. Performance was great, but does it save that extra 5ms - 15ms in games?
