Now I know why Server-sized computer cases became so popular. It's not because of style or small penial size. It's a bare necessity for the future. Double-sized video-cards, dual CPUs, physics cards, space required for that real cricket-based Pac-Man game, and now network cards, not to mention the biological human-brain unit required for advanced AI, I mean, plain I, without the A.

Does this thing really decrease Ping times?

Or people out there are simply trying to fill all your mother-board slots for the sake of filling your mother-board slots?
Net cards used to take a high CPU load, but I think this has gone too far, especially since CPU speeds are so high. This card to me is just snakeoil until I see that it really does some verifyable reduced ping times.

It does offload your CPU (in my case, a dual CPU so I am probably less affected by it), but I doubt it does anyting really useful.
