The Killer Nic
http://www.killerNIC.com
It was announced today and goes on pre-sale very soon!!!
Feel free to discuss and ponder what has been announced so far here.
Lag reduction is obviously a very major focus of the design: the features of MaxFPSTM and UltimatePingTM are 2 that are particularly focused on Lag reduction.
The one that may not be so obvious as of yet is FNA TM
FNA will allow anyone, game makers, VOIP makers, even gamers, to write their own custom applications (FNApps) that run on Killer....
What does this mean? It means your PC can spend even MORE time dedicated to the game (and reducing Lag), and not have to deal with those things.
Stay tuned for more information as it comes out..
and please discuss/ask questions... I can explain all... if not now, very very soon!

sorry about the .pdf.
I'm trying to make the link right-clickable...
in the meantime, almost all the information is available by clicking on the various tabs on the flash.
the only thing missing is some of the more techie specs.... (10/100/1000, etc.)

Tytus,
I had to download the update for Adobe Reader and that did the trick... For some reason I had to open Reader by itself and update it rather than just selecting the file and being asked to auto update Reader...
Now I can look at it and cry at the system requirements LOL

Tytus,
Since I'm currently looking at upgrading my system... any price range for this new product? And, will it run under Vista when that is released?

Tytus,
The other thing that might prove interesting, and I appologize if you've posted this elsewhere and I missed it, would be to see some benchmarks...

I could tell you but then i'd have to kill you!
Seriously, my marketing manager informs me that everything will be disclosed in due time!
The one question I can answer is that we will support VISTA when it is released.

What?! LOL... I won't tell anyone I promise -No one will see the post besides me... 
Okay, so now that I've read through the .pdf I have a question for ya... It doesn't require a specific, hard answer but since I do plan on getting one of these wonderful cards (... I still want to know how I can get it as a prize LOL...)
The .pdf speaks of the power draw of the network card as 5-10 watts (that seems like a lot). I'm looking at a system that runs an AMD 64 3800+ with 1 GB DDR400 of Memory, on a ATI Crossfire ready ECS RD480-A939 motherboard using at least one Powercolor X1600 Pro 512 MB graphics card. The system will also run at least 2 Hard drives and 2 DVD drives.
What amount of power should my powersupply pull? I currently have an Antec TrueBlue 480 watt. Will that be sufficient to power this system if I add in the KillerNIC?
