The Killer K1 gaming network card, from Bigfoot Networks, Inc., is now a recommended upgrade featured in all Alienware desktop gaming PCs, including the Area-51, Aurora, and ALX systems.
Killer is the first network interface card designed specifically for online gaming. The card is developed by Bigfoot Network's and feature a dedicated onboard 333 MHz NPU (network processing unit), the gaming network card is optimized to manage game data faster.
The Killer NIC gaming network cards reduce the lag and network latency associated with high action games such as interactive MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Play) and FPS (First Person Shooter) games like Battlefield 2 and World of Warcraft.
In addition to improved gaming performance, the Killer NIC also enables users to run gamer utility applications without affecting game performance. Users can run Killer's Firewall and Torrent clients on the Killer NPU instead of the CPU, all without affecting game play. With a USB drive attached directly to the gaming NIC, you can even download while gaming because the files never touch the system.
