I was wondering, after reading about the new nforce 500 series chipsets, about their new technology FirstPacket.
From what i read, it sounds amazing, allowing you to play online games and download bittorrent at the same time (you can read more at http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2006/05/23/nvidia_nforce_5/3.html ). i was then wondering if this would be possible to put this technology in a NIC card that i could buy. i am not going to be upgrading my motherboard for quite a while, but i would certainly buy one of these in a second.
that said, do you think that nvidia, or anyone else for that matter, will sell a NIC card with packet prioritization technology in the near future?
