The new age in Online Gaming.......2007-05-17
Being in Hawaii, I needed to bridge the gap across the pond to the states. Even with a rig that would make 99.9% of people in the PC builder community drool, latency and lag can still be a killer. So instead, I turned my connection into a killer :) I am very impressed with this card and reccomend it to anyone in the gaming community.
Well worth the money for me........2006-11-28
This card really delivers. I have never seen World of Warcraft, CounterStrike, and Battlefield 2 play so fast before. It is much less laggy than it used to be without the Killer.
This card was worth the money for sure.
The best gaming NIC you can buy.......2006-11-23
Anyone who doesn't like this card, doesn't understand what it does.
This is not a normal NIC. The processor on the card actually bypasses the windows network stack.
There is no other network card capable of doing this.
The increase to frame rate and ping that the killer nic website brags about are actually not its biggest selling point for me. Those are just bonuses.
The best thing about this card is its ability to smooth out network performance. This isnt measurable by numbers, but in how it actually feels in real world use.
I honestly can not play online games without this card anymore.
And the price? Your buying a linux cpu and extra ram. Its more than justified.
If any of you were around years ago when seperate graphics cards were first released, than you will remember the flaming people who said "my standard mobo vid card is good enough". now those seperate graphics cards are virtually required for gaming.
Well what if those seperate graphics cards were no better than the mobo card? there wouldnt have been a point. Thats what other network cards are like. They just toss packets through the standard process.
This is the first and only NIC that outsources the network process the way a graphics card outsources the graphics process. Offloading all the work from the cpu.
Bottom line is this: Does your computer suck? than yea, dont waste your time buying a $250 NIC.
Do you actually care about your computer? Do you have a video card worth at least $200? do you play online games?
This is the next step up.
Just to compare; I bought a $400 graphics card right before I bought my killer. Swapping them out and comparing the performance increases, I get more net gain with the killer than I do with the graphics card alone.
Obviously putting in both (for me) is the way to go.
This is a whole new world for gaming. There is nothing else out there that
can improve your online gaming in quite the same way; and any other upgrades your considering are still going to benifit from having the killer as well.
Heck, for some of you with really high end gaming rigs that are already worth thousands, i cant imagine you wouldnt want to also improve your network connection performance. and for those of you with mid range systems, this card at this price is going to give as good or better performance increase than anything else you could upgrade to in this price range.
I could go on ... and on... but honestly... i never expected it to be this good. and i cant imagine playing without it anymore.
Not only that... but theres programs coming out that will be able to run on the killers processor without tying up cpu performance, try that with any other network card
expensive and not worth the price.......2006-10-30
I saw no change in network performance. A network is only as fast as its weakest link which will always be the ISP.
Furthermore, if you wish to play on a LAN, then all the computer connected will require the same card to get that extra 7% of whatever its promising. Honestly, a standard gigabit card with proper switching hub will be super fast and be alot less money. Unless your just buying it for the metal K which you cannot even see because its facing down in the case.
All in all... your better of buying a better video card or more memory.

Customer Reviews:
Absolutely no Mac support.......2007-11-14
As another reviewer pointed out, despite the claims made on the packaging, this adapter does NOT work with Macintosh computers. The install CD comes with a driver that will not recognize that the network cable is connected, and the website has no Mac drivers.
This morning I called Belkin tech support; they were able to find the adapter on their product support website, and immediately told me that it had no Macintosh support. I directed them to their own catalog page, which says:
"Features extensive driver support, and works with Macintosh computers"
The support person was unable to recognize that this constituted an untruth. I requested that he point out the catalog page inconsistency to a supervisor. And put the adapter in the junk drawer. . .
Mediocre at best.......2006-08-16
I ordered this adapter with the hopes of speeding up my iBook G4 networking.
I am unable to get the device working under OS X 10.4.7
The device is recognized by the network control panel, but will not pick up an address from DHCP. Manually assigning an address does not work either.
After spending 50 minutes on the phone with Belkin just getting them to find the adapter on their own website I have still not resolved the issue. Belkin tech claimed they would have a teir 2 support person call me, but I have not heard from them after more than a week.
I attempted to use the adapter on a machine running Panther and it worked, however, the performance was very poor. Writes were only 2MB/s faster than with built in ethernet and reads were horribly slow. Less than 3MB/s.
Built in ethernet delivers a consistent 7MB/s read and write and my network is more than capable of very fast (60MB/s gigabit speeds).
Belkin was unable to offer an updated driver to resolve the issue.
Belkin tech support was just terrible. They didn't even know that the 5055 existed. They kept asking me if I was sure it was 5055 and not 5050. I assured them it was 5055 and even had to explain to them how to find it on their own web site.
I would recommend this with extreme caution if you want to experiment and see if you have any luck with your own system.
Would love to read other reviews.
