Killer Nic 2200

[Kenmitch]

My motherboard has killer nic 2200. I have FIOS and they did a update so my upload/download is the same. Killer nic for some reason limited my upload speeds. Just figured it out today. Not like I upload a lot of stuff but I was wondering why speedtest sucked on upload speeds.

Fixed it today by disabling the bandwidth control option.

Ken sounds like you Killer Nic created a problem that didn't exist. Glad you upload is back to normal, we can only dream of speeds like that down here.

I rather pay more for USB audio DACs and Wi-Fi adapters than integrated whatever when the former performs much better and can be moved to another system anytime. As far as I'm concerned some things have no business being integrated at least not at ridiculous markups.

Ridiculous markups for integrated adapters aside, non-integrated adapters are probably way over-rated. You buy them for an old motherboard that does not have them, sure. And by the time you get a new motherboard, they are obsolete. Remember the new firewire, the new usb? (remember SCSI )

Only annoying thing with Killer NICs (integrated or otherwise) is that they don't seem to be as well supported out-of-the-box in *nix.

Can't beat Intel and Realtek in that regard.
