I am only interested if this card can bypass the so called 2 tier Internet service blockade and give me good service even if Square and Blizzard decide not to pay my ISPs extortion service fee.

Re: Crap!
Having spent a little time in the bizarre and eldritch world of vulture...errm...venture capitalists and tech weenies, I can tell you that it is absolutely amazing the things that get funded and things that don't get a dime. Utter vaporcrap gets office wine cellars and G-IV jets and good stuff goes into the crapper. Every day.
Don't even try to make sense of it, you'll only give yourself a dissecting cerebral anurysm. |

| Uhhh, unauthorized access?

"..communicates with servers, downloading some of the processes that they perform online..." quote:
If this means what I think it means, it seems this is just exploiting a weakness in some games, and just beggin to be taken advantage of by people who want to cheat. If you computer sends back some slightly altered data, would it mean you never die? |

Sometimes I wonder how some dumb ideas can get that much funding.
Seriously... For 4 million I could make a cross-platform device that would protect you from any possible infection over internet, ranging from adware to viruses and trojans! Through highly advanced cutting-edge technology, the device will block all potentially threatening access to your computer. Click on the link to see the first prototype for this device!

On second thought, I probably shouldn't have posted this - what if they try to market this as well? =(

This is absoulte BS. Any hardcore gamer knows the difference between video/hardware lag and internet latency. Try playing on a top notch gaming machine and play on 30 ping and then try that on 200+ ping. Big difference. Get off your 56k connection and upgrade your box.

Re: Waste of money
I wonder does anyone in that Company Play and MMORPG or FPS Game.
I wonder can their Card "Magically" eleminate the "Lag" caused by a Server's CPU runing at 100%..or are they just going to say.."Try another Server".
My e-mail to them asked.
Will the Card "fix" dropped packets?
In a MMORPG Game such as SWG a lot of Lag is caused by all the different Characters loading up as well as the Server updating the Zone...how will their Card know what you are about to do?
I assume the card will work best with Games that use "Client side prediction" but will it help someone using a PC with a P5 500,TNT Video card playing Q4? |

This could work in a sense, if it acts as a QoS for a LAN. It would give priority to the gamer traffic, as opposed to your room mates bit torrent traffic.
You can have 1.5mb/384kb....but your gonna bottleneck the minute your upload is saturated, no matter what your download is.
But as a standalong version, I agree, it's impact would be minimal and easily duplicated by free programs such as Dr.TCP.
