Puget Recommends Killer NIC
"Performance improvements seen in the card feel as if they go beyond what the numbers describe. The differences might be compared to re-paving a road and removing the speed bumps: The speed might be slightly increased, but the real difference is in the removal of the little jarring bumps & hiccups along the way."
