MSI have partnered up with BigFoot Networks, the company responsible for the excellent Killer 2100 Nic which KitGuru reviewed months ago. This means that we might be seeing their hardware incorporated into the higher end MSI motherboards, such as the Big Bang Series. We also reviewed a Big Bang motherboard a while ago and we thought it was a stunning product.
CES is probably the time frame that MSI and Bigfoot will announce the products and they will be trying to promote the power of a dedicated NIC like this – it has proven hard for BigFoot Networks to get the press to understand the benefits, but the KitGuru review is very indepth and shows detailed testing of the hardware.
If you can't wait till then, just remember that Kitguru is giving away five of the Killer 2100 NIC's to lucky readers. You can enter over here.
This is a really good move from MSI, it helps them differenitate from the masses. hope it doesnt put the price up too much though
