Latest comment: 8 years ago by Cipher nemo in topic Outdated reference for citation 8

Most killer nics although they running linux , do not have a driver for the linux os. No plans exist to make one either. edit

Investigate , you will find it true. Official forum has been abandoned as well. http://www.killergaming.com/forums/showthread.php?4538-Killer-2100-for-Linux&p=18536&posted=1#post18536 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.101.79.12 (talk) 00:10, 23 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Added clarification edit

I added that it is also available on gaming boards for Intel from all of the main players ", as well as gaming motherboards for Intel from Gigabyte, Asus, MSI, and ASRock.", right after the AMD Fanboy stuff. 69.49.217.158 (talk) 20:30, 23 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Outdated reference for citation 8 edit

Citation number 8 is from 2006. This is the entire premise for the "Reception" section. Either this section should be reworded to reflect the changes in Killer models and offerings with new citations, or it should be removed. The evidence of Killer network chips and cards increasing performance on modern PCs shows negligible gains, if nothing at all. The problem is that offloading the network stack from Windows doesn't increase performance if the computer hardware running Windows is modern and robust enough to handle it while multitasking with other processes.
