Killer NIC K1 and Custom BitTorrent Client Tested

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the frags-and-files dept.

NetworkingNed writes "The new Killer NIC K1 is the successor to the much debated original Killer NIC card that offers the same features at a lower price: this time for about $170 or so. Not cheap, that's for sure. But in this review at PC Perspective, not only is the new card tested under the drastically updated Vista networking stack with improved results, but the free BitTorrent client that runs on the Killer NIC is reviewed as well; with it you should be able to download torrents without affecting online gaming performance. Enough to warrant a $175 network card?"

    Slashdot should just get rid of the tagging beta that is rendered useless by people who use it to add their editorials to the front page. Look at the ones for this piece:

    "Yes, No, Hardware, Networking"

    Only two of those belong there. To the numbnuts who added "yes" and "no": Fuck off. You've abused the system and deserve to have tagging privileges revoked.

    Just goes to show you that the public will abuse any service you give them.
