  Editor's Choice
"Given that some WoW players spend huge amounts of time inside of the WoW universe, having overall smoother gameplay and actual move and attacking advantages given through the use of the Killer NIC will likely be a no-brainer for many."

"The performance boost we got out of the Killer NIC in this testing exceeds Bigfoot Networks' own claims of 10-15% gains by a long shot and certainly seems to validate the potential of the technology."

Custom PC - Crazy but Cool
  Killer NIC - First Look
"Frame rates are much higher and more consistent than with an on-board Ethernet chip. Plus, the ability to run apps such as a Bit Torrent client without it affecting your ping or frame rate is excellent"

Puget Custom Computers
  Puget Recommends Killer NIC
"Performance improvements seen in the card feel as if they go beyond what the numbers describe. The differences might be compared to re-paving a road and removing the speed bumps: The speed might be slightly increased, but the real difference is in the removal of the little jarring bumps & hiccups along the way."
