wonder how usefull that will be.......

this utter crap and a waste of money. the onboard lan on the nvidia 5 chipset sounds better.

Should be easy enough to benchmark right? Just need to be able to dump FPS out to a file while playing a multiplayer match in a game. I think you're right though, this isn't gonna help performance at all.

it already got slammed when it was posted on slashdot

All hype for sure. Who needs an "OS" on their damn Nic?

Talk about overhead.

Seems like a total waste of money. That said I will still be interested to see reviews and benchmarks.

They even have HardOCP plugging em. Wonder how much they paid.

if it wouldn't "kill" your wallet it might actually be worth something
large buffers/caches on a gigabit nic, or most any peripheral/addin device, isn't such a bad idea imo
