DLink GamerLounge DGE-560T NIC

Anyone get a chance to play with one of these? It's a PCIe 1x NIC for $90'ish that supports TCP, IP and UDP checksum offload. Has my interest since, after all, one of the killer NIC's claim to fame has been its UDP performance.

Well, only good thing that jumped out at me in that desc was "PCIe x1" really. I'm pretty sure any decent standalone NIC (especially Intel models!) are only limited in performance by the bus.

Aye, I'm just curious if anyone's actually used it. Comparing it to an intel desktop/server adapter on PCIe would be even better.
