Killer Network Card

Saw this web advertisement awhile ago - introduction this product -

Killer Network Interface Card.

It's a word advertisement with no picture, the marketing line that caught my attention was "41% increase FPS in World of Warcraft" FPS - Frame Per Second. If 41% is real, that a awesome performance improvement.

Their Marketing paragraph,
Kill or Be Killed!
Whether you have an hour to play at night or you are a dedicated pro gamer: the Killer NIC is for anyone that cherishes their online gaming time. The Killer™ Network Interface Card (NIC) is the world’s first Network Card designed specifically for Online Gaming. Powered by Lag and Latency Reduction (LLR™) Technology, Killer gives your computer superior speed and performance. More Frames Per Second and lower Pings when they matter most: during intense online gaming action.

About the LLR technology,
Lag and Latency Reduction (LLR) Technology is the power behind the Killer NIC. It has two modes of operation: LLR Game Mode and LLR App Mode.

During your Gaming hours change to LLR Game Mode - It completely changes the way networking works in your computer: fully tweaking it out for Games.

LLR Technology is 400Mhz Network Processing chipset that allows the Killer NIC to completely bypass the Windows Network Stack, and implement it’s own interrupt driven stack technology.
Bypassing Windows reduces your latency (Ping), and shortens game frame loops: boosting FPS.

The Killer’s NPU is also designed specifically for online gaming, and handles gaming network traffic much more quickly and efficiently than standard networking products, including packet prioritization, gaming interrupt modeling, and FNA.

The best part is that LLR is plug’n’play, and requires no software changes by game developers. This means that you can just plug the Killer in, and get the benefits right away in your favorite online game.

FANTASTIC for Gamers!! The killer NIC cost - $279.99
With the above info, I see a potential of this NIC but the price is holding me back. =\
