Rrrrriggght. That is some deep bullshit. Why on earth would someone want fire up the PC (a "gaming" PC nonetheless) just to provide network to other independent (and sometimes even exclusive) devices? And if the PC breaks you're fscked because you can't access the network anymore...
The 32 gigabits of world access that the PCH has, is supposed to handle all this, in addition to everything else? They keep increasing the number of ports in the PCH without increasing the number of links...
This is slinging mud against a wall to see what sticks. Then again, it looks almost like an act of desperation to keep a company with a terrible brand reputation alive and in the media's spotlight. Maybe making a network adapter that lives up to Rivet's earlier claims (and actually demonstrates that it can in fair and equitable benchmarks) is proving harder and more expensive than previously thought.
