"Back in March, Harlan Beverly, Bigfoot's CEO, told TG Daily that much of the perceived lag happens because the computer is bogged down processing networking packets. Enterprise servers have worked around this problem by installing TCP offload chips or cards." The part about enterprise level servers is correct, but that's NOT why lag happens for PC's. The amount of traffic enterprise level servers deal with is FAR more than what your PC deals with. Even think in the case of a game server compared to the clients. The server is dealing with 20x more traffic than what your PC is dealing with when you're playing on a 20 person game server. This NIC does nothing to correct that, nor can it do anything about time it takes packets to get from your pc to the server, or the server to your PC. It's preposterous to think this is going to do much. Also "Parallel Tasking" NIC's (ones that offload the task of processing network traffic) have been around a long time, and you can buy one for as little as $30. Try one, and you'll see it won't do jack crap for your pings. Too funny... "How many squirrels had to die to make you look fly?!"
