Everyone complaining about lag on the servers, listen up.
Your problems are over. *blink*KILLER GAMING NETWORK CARD*blink*
... Mocking aside... once I saw the iron K on the PCI board, I didn't know whether to post this in Computers or the Humor thread. If it has already been discussed (i searched!), sorry, but I just tripped on this... gem. A tricked-out NIC?! No! No no no for fuck's sake what is wrong with you people. I also wonder about a dedicated network processing unit; I can buy that on sound cards, maybe, but on a NIC? Is this bullshit or is this a legitimate workload distribution helper? |

Yes, yes it would. It's not a piece of garbage at all. Spend your money on it. In fact, buy two, that way you'll get DOUBLE the speed.
Guess what would happen if you bought FOUR? |

It is better then an onboard or cheap nic, but it's not $249 better. Most people don't need dedicated microcode torrent client running *inside* their nic.
If you're worried about your network card sapping your cpu, just get an Intel server-class adapter =/ I think the 'K' is either the most inefficient heatsink or simply useless and expensive bling. |

Yea...cool stuff, but not $250 cool
I'd consider buying one if it was a more reasonable $100 - $125 if I was building a new rig. Â Sig by Joel |

Well, a NIC with an onboard processor is what we use in all our servers and routers like cisco and juniper use this as well to get their throughput to be able to handle enormous loads but for a normal gamer there is no need for this at all...
Signature temporarily out of order until I get off my lazy ass to fix it. |

Damn it Ain, we were supposed to convince Vongore to buy one to fix his lag before telling him this. |

NiceGuy has one because he got a 5-finger discount back when he was working for Microcenter.

Based on your recommendation I have purchased 3. Can someone teach me how to make these into a RAID?
