Is Killer E2200 bad ?

[aDham_z]

i was looking for a new motherboard and i looked at gigabyte's one's and i saw a lot of motherboards using Killer E2200 lan thing and i did my search on google and i found out a lot of people didn't really like the E2200 and told that it's bad. and i want to really know ones and for all.

Non-Intel Chips are bad.b

My current motherboard, the MSI Z87 MPower MAX sports teh E2200 NIC, and I have had no issues with it.

 

I cannot speak if you like bandwidth prioritization or stuff like that (because I don't use it), but as a regular Ethernet NIC, it does its job just fine.

The Killer line is good, just you need to know how to configure it. I'll let you in on a secret most, if not all networking guys know, it is mainly the OS that holds back the NIC and not really the NIC itself.

I have no problems with it. Ots better than some intel nic but there are intel nics that are better too.

I've got the same board and have no issues, but I only installed the drivers, not the whole suite and prioritisation stuff as first time round it crashed my home network.

Its fine. May not have a "suite of features" like the intel nics, but as far as an integrated ethernet adapter goes, it's perfectly fine. Unless you're doing crazy shit, you won't notice a difference.
