Oh man, don't even get me started on that Killer NIC bs!
I got nothing to say to those who pay that much for a NIC (I know why they name it so, it would KILL you to pay that much only to find out the so called performance gain could also be obtained by other simple and free system tweaking...most people have incorrect or low MTU/RWIN settings to begin with, or their high-speed connection is not even fully utilitized, they got spyware/trojan, etc. The point being, each person needs to find the real bottleneck that they need to fix, instead of going after insignificant, unnecessary or overkill 'improvements'.

So, Star, you are saying out of 17 Geeks in the Squad, only 2 knew their stuff? That is weak...
