Killer/Atheros NIC ?

Late to the party AT already teased it about a week ago

Re Killer nic -- hard to say as they do not have full specs yet, but take this with a truck load of salt, but it seems like it could possibly have a killer nic on it, based on looking at pics of other msi boards,and this one, it seems like there is a similar sized chip in the general same area

If it's got a "Killer NIC", they can keep it. It's a PITA to make sure that proprietary NICs and sound chips are supported in future or alternative OSes. Give me something "standard" (Realtek, Intel, etc.) any day.

Killer NIC's really have never seemed a big deal really.

Have used one awhile back, seems more hype than anything.

But I'm still using one of these old things with a X5650 I guess.

well, I think msi only use killer nic for gaming board
for this sli plus, should be use the intel nic for sure (well, I guess)

but all about the design and color, so coooool!

Because one thread with pics of upcoming X99 boards is not enough
