So I've been looking at those Killer NIC cards made by Bigfoot and was wondering what you guys thought about them. I've had my eye on these for a while, but I've yet to try one. Last time I asked some people the general consensus I gathered from others were that it was a waste of of a PCI slot and money, but now I see they have 1x cards and was wondering if they were worth a second glance.

What do you guys think?

$200 for a NIC card is never a good idea ever unless your so loaded that it doesn't matter.

It's just a marketing scam. Everyone that's actually tried them has noticed to increase in speed. All of the phony reviews profit from each other in some form or another. My 10$ card has worked amazingly well for years, it's your isp that matters. 2c

Yeah that's what I heard when I last looked at these things seriously. Still using onboard NIC and I'm doing fine. My connection is good though.
