Synthetic testing is useful to ascertain potential benefits between hardware configurations, however real world testing is an important aspect, highlighting gains and performance increases in specific situations.
We copy a 4GB file across the network, using software to record the transfer times. We copy a file between both wireless adapters to a ‘listen' PC, which is wired to the network via a gigabit switch.
When copying our 4GB file, the Bigfoot Wireless N 1102 completes the task in 202 seconds. The onboard Intel wireless adapter takes 335 seconds to finish the same task.
Excellent idea. I like their software, worth it for that alone.
I read about the killer desktop model here last year and bought one and I can’t do without it now. One of the best buys ever. They have the hardware finely tuned for gamers.
Shame you cant just add on into the machine. I upgrade my memory on my laptop. dont see how this would be any more difficult.
Great product! I agree with Ian I wish that I could add this on to my laptop as my current wireless card is terrible. Plugging it into a network problem fixes all of my latency problems in World of Warcraft so it has to be my card. I would totally drop this in if it were available. My wireless card is a standard mini PCI port so I don’t see why I couldn’t.
