Half-ready product with vague description,
By

This review is from: EVGA 128-P2-KN01-TR Killer Xeno Pro Gaming Network Card (Personal Computers)
Here are some features printed on the box and my explanations:
1) "Gigabit ethernet". It only _connects_ at 1 gigabit speed. When you try to transfer a file over the network the real speed wouldn't be more than 7-9 Mb/s (less than 100Mbit/s). This is not a bug, this is how manufacturer originally developed the card and this is admitted on official forum. 2) "USB port for Torrent and FTP storage". Physically the port presents on the device but the problem is - it cannot be used since drivers (of any version for any OS) do not support it. It's unclear when the functionality will be supported. 3) "Hardware firewall". In current drivers' version it's just a simplest filtering application. Techincally you can call it "firewall" but in fact it isn't. 4) "Hardware accelerated voice chat". The acceleration only works for Teamspeak 1.0 and their own Xeno Chat. You cannot use benefits of the card if you're using any other application (like Ventrilo or ever Teamspeak 2). In-game voice chats are not supported as well. 5) "Better Internet tools on an embedded Linux platform". The card is running Linux on PowerPC processor so technically this is true - there are such tools. But they are unavailable for you since you don't have access to the embedded system. Drivers: 1) There are no Windows 7 drivers. There are Vista onces and they somehow work under Win7 but my system several times gone to BSOD when using network. Couple of times this happen under Vista. 2) Windows XP 64-bit is not supported at all. This is not stated in specification but there is a nice stiker on the box. I've tried this card in real games (Battlefield, WoW, CS) - didn't mention any latency improvement. May be this is because of connecting to Internet via a router (they slow down traffic a bit), but anyway I'm not ready to disconnect my whole home network from the internet. I suggest most of people have the similar situation at home. If you like this device read the manufacturer's forum first - you'll find a lot of feedbacks there (both positive and negative). After a week of testing I decided to return the card back to the store. It definitly doesn't worth its price: $30-$40 could be a price but not more. Btw, I have two more products of EVGA: video card and mother board. They both just perfect. It was a great surprise for me with this network card.

Skeptic now an Evangelist,

This review is from: EVGA 128-P2-KN01-TR Killer Xeno Pro Gaming Network Card (Personal Computers)
Okay, I bought this primarily because the idea of a ppc linux box that I could hack in a PCIe slot was cool. I'd read lots of reviews, both positive and negative when the killer nic first came out, but I couldn't justify the price. Then they released Xeno Pro, which dropped the price substantially. As an embedded developer, I thought at worst this would end up being something I could use at work for Embedded PPC Linux testing. It isn't going to work, I won't let it leave my gaming machine.
To be fair this won't fix the internet. If you have a bad router between you and the game server you still will have a bad connection. However at this point, I know any problems are not from my gaming machine. My pings seem to vary less, especially under extreme graphical stress (lots of players in the same area, grenades exploding everywhere, aerial bombardment etc). This is not a placebo effect. It is an improvement. You will get your best improvments in games that use udp vs. tcp. The only problem at this point and what almost made me mark this 4 stars instead of 5 is that the firewall app is not available yet, but that should come with the next driver release.

Snake oil it is,

I noticed absolutely no improvement at all in gaming or networking. I have other EVGA products and love them all, but this product is snake oil as stated in a previous post. Save your money and upgrade in areas that will actually help your performance.
