WTS/TRADE: Killer NIC M1, NIB ^_^

Shike · May 23, 2007, 03:55 AM

Hey guys, I just go an email from a website that I won one of these beauties. Recently they added a couple features I would love; like torrenting that doesn't effect bandwidth/computer performance. The kicker is: the college I will be attending only offers WiFi

So, I was hoping I could find someone that is interested for when it comes in.

Things I want:

Computer Stuff
New CPU (Core 2 Duo)
New MoBo for Core 2 Duo (must have slew of OCing options)
2GB DDR2 RAM for OCing
Graphics card
Auzen X-Meridian
TV Tuner

Audio Gear
Speaker amplifier (Parasound, Emotiva, Rotel, NAD)
IEMs
External DAC

DVDs
Anime is always good

Games
Xbox 360 games/gear
DS games

Money is also good, for things like tuition. I'm not huge in setting a price, but I was hoping for around $175 or so.

Feel free to make any other trade offers if they are related to PC or Audio gear. As for the games just suggest what you're interested in getting rid of.

The Nic is pretty dang cool I read reviews awhile back on how it helped give about 3-10 more fps easily.

Just yesterday saw that NIC on sale one online store it's dam expensive for just 3-10 fps boost. I bet that any built in nic would perform as good in network traffic than that. It's good to remember that your connection speed is the main point in multi-player games...

[EDIT] Some info I found from the online store:

Technical Specifications Data Rates: 10/100/1000 Ethernet Fast Ethernet Controller 400Mhz Network Processing Unit Integrated Memory: 64MB DDR PC2100 IEEE Compliance: 802.3 802.3u 802.3x 802.3z Data Path Width: 32bit PCI Data Transfer Mode: Busmaster DMA General Connectors: RJ45 Port: USB2.0 Operating System: Windows XP Windows Vista Typical Power Consumption: 510W

Price: 259.40€ (with VAT)

Well, not only does it help FPS but it's been known to cut WoW pings in half easily along with other major MMOs and BF2. So no, not every built in NIC will perform as good.

lol... still the main thing is your connection not your nic

unless you are in the same LAN where the server and other players are
