Bigfoot Networks generated quite a bit of buzz back in 2006 when the company launched the original Killer NIC M1. As many of you probably remember, the original Killer NIC was / is a PCI-based device that featured an on-board network processor, or NPU, that was supposedly able to lower in-game ping times and free up CPU resources, which in turn could increase framerates. The Killer NIC performed these duties by bypassing the Windows networking stack through the use of custom software and offloading network related tasks from the host CPU. And generally speaking, the Killer NIC delivered on all fronts to some degree. The $250+ price tag of the original Killer NIC was tough to justify, however,...

Recently, several big name memory companies have offered new "low-latency" DDR memory modules capable of running with brisk 2-2-2-5 timings at 400MHz. Based on Samsung's latest low-latency ICs, these chips have demonstrated remarkable stability, compatibility and speed as well as the potential to overclock in excess of 500MHz DDR when relaxed latencies are used. One of the lesser known players in this field is PQI Designs. Not long ago, PQI acquired PMI Memory, incorporating their Turbo Series brand into the PQI product line. This has given PQI a much broader product line that includes performance memory as well as industrial strength flash storage solutions and other...

Corsair's XMS (Xtreme Memory Speed) memory modules have long been a favorite amongst the enthusiast community. Corsair has memory kits available in many different sizes and speeds, and all of them are regarded as some of the best modules available in their respective categories. Unfortunately, with the demise of Winbond's BH5/BH6 chips, low-latency memory kits from Corsair (and other manufactures) virtually disappeared. Low-latency memory offers better overall performance than similarly clocked memory with higher latencies. Chips capable of much higher clock speeds quickly surfaced, but true low-latency memory was very tough to come by - until now. Today on HotHardware,...

Whoa! I've only been offline for about 8 hours, and already our news box is chock full of goodies! For a geek like me, there's not much better than waking up to a healthy sampling of hardware related articles. I just brewed a fresh pot of coffee, slammed down a pastry and some toast, and now I'm going to settle in for some good reading. When I'm done with that, I'm going to button up a review of Asus' excellent Radon X800 Pro! I figure some of you might want to do the same (minus that part about writing a review), so here's enough hardware news to keep you busy for most of the morning - just don't spill any coffee on your keyboard...
