has very little to do with bandwidth, its all about latency, in theory* it should help.Q9450 + TRUE, G.Skill 2x2GB DDR2, GTX 560, ASUS X48, 1TB WD Black, Windows 7 64-bit, LG M2762D-PM 27" + 17" LG 1752TX, Corsair HX620, Antec P182, Logitech G5 (Blue)

First, it's a press release, not an article. But yes, I read it.
Utilizing a 400MHz network processor with 64MB of dedicated PC-2100 DDR memory,
MaxFPS technology frees up CPU cycles typically taken up by heavy network traffic by offloading the required processing onto the Killer NIC’s 400MHz network processor.
UltimatePing technology lowers ping by optimizing data delivery to games faster while PingThrottle technology allows users to increase or decrease ping accordingly. GameFirst Technology prioritizes network packets for games instead of background downloading utilities such as BitTorrent.
While NVIDIA has implemented features similar to MaxFPS and GameFirst in the form of its FirstPacket and TCP/IP offload functions of the nForce 500 series of chipsets, the Killer NIC is the first standalone network card to offer such features.
This is a gimmick. I bet it has no performance increase compared to using a home router with QoS enabled.Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.

This will be a "prove it to me first" product. Now, if I were a tweaker and had one of those "tricked out" plexiglass windows on my case, I might get it for the kewlness factor when people look inside. But since I'm not, I want to see independent evidence first.“Inside every sane person there’s a madman struggling to get outâ€

But for the NIC card...
