Does anyone here like Killer NICs? Personally I always far prefered Intel, but it's been a few years since I last used a Killer product and they may have improved in the meantime.

They haven't especially. One of the tech sites had a look at them recently and concluded something like the hardware wasn't anything special, the main advantage was just the software IF you need QoS, which almost no home users do.

[Pleiades]

Not a Killer fan either. Fairly useless IMO (have it on my MSI board), plus the software is just more bloatware that pretends to do something. Rather have 2 Intel NICs personally.

Yeh, nothing special, its okay.

[Arulmani]

a reasonable one.

Rather have 2 Intel NICs personally.

This - I assume Intel still supports GbE adapter teaming? That could actually be useful, at least in theory.
