Bigfoot strikes again


Bigfoot Networks has finished up a new version of a product that they declare as the "fastest Gigabit NIC on the planet”. Assuming that aliens use NICs and the Gigabit this is possible we guess.

Dubbed the Killer 2100, Bigfoot claims it is big step up from your standard NIC not built for gamers. The Killer 2100 has a network processor that watches traffic and works on reducing lag. Most reviewers found improvements in gaming lag with some NICs, but perhaps not enough to justify the cost.

Bigfoot Networks claims to have redesigned the Killer from the ground up. The Killer 2100 comes with software that lets you monitor and optimize network performance. For example, you might limit bandwidth to certain applications, or log your system's performance across network activity graphs.

The card itself uses a PCIe x1 slot, has 128MB of on card DDR2, and support Windows networks stack bypass.

Still the price is a bit steep as the Killer costs $130.
