LOL @ 0-60 time! Seriously though, the 66Mhz doesn't make a lot of difference except when FNA has been enabled, and you are running a bunch of torrents. you'll be able to run fewer torrents (or lower quality Voice, when the VOIP app is complete). As for gaming performance benefit, the 66Mhz...

In case you missed the press: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2007/2/prweb504722.htm Killer K1 is a more affordable version of the Killer NIC, and is available at select places (such as NewEgg, a [H] supporter) for $149.99 (after rebate). The difference between Killer NIC and Killer K1...

Yep, Much more affordable, FNA is "disabled" (and can be upgraded/enabled later), and 333Mhz NPU instead of 400Mhz NPU. In general, gaming improvement is about the same. You won't be able to run as many simultaneous FNA Torrent downloads at once with the Killer K1... but otherwise, it's a...

To Quote, the Anandtech review (which was actually very favorable): "we did a blind performance test in WoW with a third party. The third party had no idea their on-board NIC had been replaced with the Killer NIC. The first reaction was a question asking if an additional one gigabyte of RAM...

I would love to debate the pro's and con's and tech details of how Killer works... But to answer the posters question: Yes ,Killer K1 was just released!!! Same great Killer Performance (it is WAY MORE than 1FPS in WOW, more like 10-20 + 10-30ms lower latencies). 100$ cheaper. ($149...

lol, maybe i can send you one after the testing is done! Welcome to the [H] by the way DaleF!

As I understand it: our CEO said the first few folks did, the ones from the Adult Video conference...well... gaming? :) Still they Loved the K Bling. Tytus even said that people were offering crazy trades for the K Bling. Bar Tabs, personal favors, etc. etc. Yes, CES is a fun crazy party...

No, I know that it's either a new ASIC spin (2-3 years) or a possible bridge chip (1-2 years + added variable cost). So, it ain't great news. Fortunately AGEIA may be releaseing a PCI-E version soon, so your Physics accelerator (if you like that kind of thing) can get out of the way...

lmao. you got us! ironically, at the 'real' CES parties, people were more interested in the BitTorrent demo, than the booth babes!

forgot to mention, we also demo'd the BitTorrent Killer FNApp . Torrent's downloading inside the Killer NIC, all with 0% CPU utilization, made for a cool demo. it'll be in public beta pretty soon. Also, the Online Gaming PC's started popping up everywhere at CES as well...

And you thought your Killer NIC heatsink was just for show! http://digg.com/gaming_news/Killer_Bling_Babes_CES2007 Seriously, our CEO had some serious fun! And, as always, i'll answer questions about the Killer NIC, but I thought ya'll would enjoy seeing what you missed at CES.

noc_81, Thanks for the questions, hope I can answer them for you. 1.) Yes, Linux drivers are available from our website, and the community is in the progress of making them better. 2.) Right now, you can plug in any USB Flash device and it will auto-mount and is visilble from linux on...

sad you didn't find it useful. Hope we can win your business back soon! e.g.: more FNApps, more performance, and more features. We've got some GREAT feedback so far about FNA Firewall BTW... people really like the slick (and very lightweight) GUI, and the fact that the firewall itself...

Wow, great questions! We're selling this to people who love online games. (myself included). As for what you are missing: it's this...IMO Killer is a new product category that DOES impact online gameplay. I think Kyle's Award is MORE due to the fact that the testers he brought in...

Sorry you feel that way Yashu. I don't make the policies, but in this case I understand it.
