    Hexus has just dropped down a long way in my estimation.

    What happened to the mini review you were going to do on the killer nic?

    Re: News - HEXUS.winners win4FREE competitions: Killer network accelerators up for gr

    Theres no point, it doenst really offer more than a decent TOE card which can be picked up at a fraction of the cost.

    Yeah was thinking the same. But even chavs wouldn't find that cool surely, lol. It's too sad for everyone else and too geeky for chavs. It's a really bizarre thing to make, the marketing guy should be fired.

    they only went that way cos no games supported physX, and now nVidia cards have it built in.. there's no need for one anymore.

    There never really was in the first place, similar effect here - in PC Gamer mag they had a review of it and apparently it only reduces ping by about 3ms
