TCP/IP Offload NICs for Gamers?

[hbomber]

Hey folks, just wondering what are thoughts about a TCP/IP offload NIC being used for a GAME SERVER?

(for example at a LAN party)?

I think most games are UDP these days right?

What about a TOE NIC at a game company?

Thanks in advance,
Harlan

For gaming, UDP is the tougher side of things. There are a lot of cards that can handle the TCP side but are terrible with UDP.

Got a LAN Party that you want people to know about?

Let me know about it.
