Bigfoot's "Wallet-Killer" NIC

Everytime I see Bigfoot's "Killer" NIC being mentioned on websites and forums, I just have to laugh. It's got interesting features like: bypassing the Windows TCP/IP stack and processing within the hardware, and running embedded Linux that's accessible via console. It makes for an cool toy to play with, but for $279.00, save your money!

Bottom line: You're better off just getting a faster internet connection.
