It's competition time, and we've teamed up with Bigfoot Networks - creators of the gaming-orientated Killer NIC network interface card - to give you the chance to win one of two Killer NIC M1 network accelerators!

The Killer NIC M1, pictured below, features a 400MHz network processing unit that acts as a co-processor dedicated to running the networking portion of games. Sounds simple enough, and the result is a lower ping, improved FPS and less network lag - a must for any serious online gamer.

The bad news for the casual gamer is that the Killer NIC M1 currently retails at Ā£172.49 from Scan.co.uk. Fortunately for you, we'll be giving away not one, but two of the cards to a pair of lucky readers. And, seeing as it's Christmas, we'll also be giving away a "K Bling" necklace to five runners up!

In order to be in with a chance of winning, all you need to do is answer the following question correctly:

Q) Designed specifically for gaming, LLR technology separates Killer from ordinary networking products. What does LLR stand for?

a) Low level radiation
b) Lag and latency reduction
c) Lunar laser ranging

To enter, simply send your answer, along with your name, address and a contact telephone number to our competition e-mail address with "KillerNIC" as the subject line before the closing data of midnight on January 4th.

That's all there is to it! All correct entries will be entered into our prize draw and two lucky winners will be awarded a Killer NIC M1 and five runners up will receive a K Bling necklace. Good luck everyone, we'll be picking our lucky winner soon after the competition closes.

Im surprised these guys are still around?
Hexus has just dropped down a long way in my estimation.

What happened to the mini review you were going to do on the killer nic?
Entered, but put ‘KillerNIC Competition’ as the subject, will that matter?
i hope i dont win the runner up prize :s
I thought those things had already gone the way of PhysX cards ;)
