16 Why should I care about "PING" or "lag"? If you have a fast PC with good graphics, you get high "Frames per second" in a game and visually smooth gameplay. But if your network is to slow, you have a high "PING" and you literally receive game information LATER than everyone else (LAG). Everyone has half a second more to respond to you... and kill you

17 Why Killer Networking? FAST Smart, FAST Which one do you want in a network traffic jam?

18 Killer Networking past and present MSI Gaming Other brands MSI GAMING Motherboard Other Brand Killer E2200 LAN Chip: New process, smaller package size, less power consumption E2200 supports Windows 8 and Metro UI (Q2 2013) Better compatibility, latest Killer solution.
