Default Affiliate Review: Bigfoot Netoworks' Killer NIC Sneak Peek


Bigfoot Netoworks' Killer NIC Sneak Peek

"While the Killer NICÂ’s focus is outlined on the previous page in terms of ping and frames per second, it has some incredibly impressive features outside of those. And to be 100% honest, while I am far from a hardcore online gamer any more, I found some of what is documented below to be more exciting than the ping reduction.

"Everything that we have talked about above runs on an embedded version of Linux that is housed on the Killer NIC. Not only does the Killer NIC hardware run on Linux, the embedded Linux OS is accessible to the end user as well though the Flexible Network Applications Console.

"Above you can see a Linux console prompt on our Windows XP machine. This console application will be shipped in the box with the Killer NIC as well as the Linux source code and also a SDK."
