I could see it helpping a little because of offloading the processing and memory to a dedicated card but kill lag... hardly

I could see it helpping a little because of offloading the processing and memory to a dedicated card but kill lag... hardly there are many reasonably priced NICs in the marketplace which you can set to offload processing to its own processor.. I have two RealTek and one SMC NIC that has that feature - all sell for around $20.. a few months ago I got to try out Nvidia's "high performance" ethernet card.. I think it was supposed to retail at around $250.. they have a thing that you can test and use the thing for two weeks then write a review and send the hardware off to the next person on the list.. needless to say I doubt I'll be asked to test/review any more - I send the NIC back with a note telling them it's nothing but a feel good rip-off.. ya know who cares if the card can do 400 Mbit/sec when your Internet connection maxes out at 12-14 Mbit.. as others have said, they do nothing for the average user and a waste of money - I thought maybe it's for use at a LAN party where everyone connects via a hub/switch, but then there is a thing called Gigabit Ethernet which in theory is faster @ 1000 Mbit/sec..

Not really. Throughput may be higher, but it does nothing for latency.
