Alienware Gains Online Gaming Edge with the Killer NIC

Austin, Texas (PRWEB) September 5, 2007 -- The Killer? K1 (www.killernic.com/products/k1.aspx) gaming network card, from Bigfoot Networks, Inc., is now a recommended upgrade featured in all Alienware (www.alienware.com) desktop gaming PCs, including the Area-51, Aurora, and ALX systems. A significant advancement in online gaming technology, Killer is the industry's first network interface card designed specifically for online gaming. Killer is designed to accelerate game data and reduce lag for a smoother, more responsive online gaming experience.

"The Killer NIC ensures Alienware customers stay a step ahead of their fellow online gamers by giving them an invaluable edge in speed and responsiveness during the heat of battle," said Bryan de Zayas, Director, Product Marketing. "Loaded with the Killer NIC and backed by an arsenal of the most advanced graphics and processor firepower, Alienware systems are fully primed to electrify every aspect of the online gaming experience."

"Alienware's selection of the Killer NIC is another example of the market realizing that the Killer NIC is not just for the hardcore elite gamer," said Harlan Beverly, co-founder and CEO of Bigfoot Networks. "With almost 90% of PC gaming being online gaming, the Killer NIC often represents the number one upgrade for gamers who play exclusively online. With the Killer NIC, Alienware is now poised to offer PC gamers exactly what they want: the best online gaming experience possible."

Powered by Bigfoot Network's proprietary LLR? Technology and a dedicated onboard 333 MHz NPU (network processing unit), the gaming network card is optimized to manage game data faster. The Killer NIC gaming network cards reduce the lag and network latency associated with high action games such as interactive MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Play) and FPS (First Person Shooter) games like Battlefield 2 and World of Warcraft.

In addition to improved gaming performance, the Killer NIC also enables users to run gamer utility applications without affecting game performance. Users can run Killer's Firewall and Torrent clients on the Killer NPU instead of the CPU, all without affecting game play. With a USB drive attached directly to the gaming NIC, gamers can even download while gaming because the files never touch the system.
