Lots of negative reviews here. But reviews from many reputable web sites including gaming ones actually show that the card does have some benefits (more so than what is stated here). Go see for yourself. Anyway, I am building a high end gaming rig now so $40 for a network card isn't going to kill me. I ordered it.
Meh I[object Window]ll just use leatrix[object Window]s latency fix on wowinterface.com does the same thing this over priced network card does, cept its free.
[object Window]
It doesn[object Window]t do the same as the latency fix thats floating about on the net. This card offloads the TCP/IP stack within windows so the CPU isn[object Window]t used to drive the network traffic. The advantage to this is that in areas where your cpu bottlenecks (citys or raids in mmos) your ping will stay constant where as with a normal onboard nic your ping may become unstable and increase.
You have to laugh at the anti Bigfoot crowd. Same old knee jerk tech remarks of why blah blah blah. A lot of those arguments would have been somewhat valid against earlier generations of the Killer, but after play using the 2100 with my fav PvP online shooter and PVP MMO for sometime without one and with one I'm certainly see it's worth when there's a lot of action happening on screen or the very crowded area in a MMO's with action going down.
Gobbles the data and keeps on swallowing without it ever saying hanging on I'm chewing like a on board nic would when the online action spikes big and heavy just as sound would if you're using on board vs gaming sound card. When you meet an enemy in online play it's about the instant moment and you want your system swallowing not chewing.
Good god you people are ruthless. Why so damned bitter?? Seems to be a ever increasing problem in the MMO community. YIKES.
Because they started selling these at $150.00 when they were introduced. Their 50% off sale price is almost a reasonable price. When they get down to about $20 they might be worth while.

THIS PROMO TAKES YOU TO THE XENO PRO CARD, IT'S A SCAM SETUP
I tried using the promo code for the 2100 and it would not apply.
THIS AD IS A SCAM
Sorry about this guys - this is my fault. Bigfoot always said this was Xeno Pro and somehow I got 2100 in my head so all the images and text are wrong. The Xeno Pro is still a $79.99 card and this coupon still gives you 50% off. The Killer 2100 is $89.99.
I assure you it was no scam (we don't even have anything to really gain from this coupon). I will work to get all the images and text fixed asap.

Stop hating on the admin here for setting up this offer, just because you're not interested in this product doesn't mean the site won't offer other deals in the future.

Maybe a discount on graphics cards perhaps? :-P
I would love to get you a discount on a video card and will do my best to try ;-) This is the first time we have done something like this aside from the normal sweepstakes/key offers. I think there is a good incentive for hardware companies to host coupons here since it amounts to free advertising for them.
I hope you guys had a Merry Christmas!

No, it does not do the same thing. You are wrong.
Just FYI to those interested in this purchase:
THIS PROMO IS IN FACT NOT FOR THE 2100 VERSION
THIS PROMO TAKES YOU TO THE XENO PRO CARD, IT'S A SCAM SETUP

Like Alienware, you get what you pay for..... extremely expensive logos.
Superb marketing for suckers.
