...that's just a fancy name for a Network Interface Card(NIC)... If you have a computer, well, I betcha you have one, otherwise you won't be reading this... you already have one on your motherboard, but an integrated one instead of seperate plug in card - like the good 'ol times... ;-)
It has a 400MHz Freescale processor, 64MB of DDR RAM, runs a special version of embedded Linux, and costs $300. WOW!
Fot this price, it better speed up your system - or your network for the matter... But, if you use DSL/Cable, DSL will be the bottle neck, what's the point? Then again, unless you're on T1/T2 or T3... well, still, what's the point? T1 network will be so fast, you will have no need for this card. However, if you drive a Ferari, then, this just maybe the NIC for you, but don't expect any network speed boost.... check out the full review by ExtremeTech
For $300, I'd rather get a top of the line dual core CPU or a video card...
