Dell and Bigfoot team on gaming PC

By Dan Zehr | Thursday, September 18, 2008, 11:14 AM

Dell will start offering a network card for high-end gaming rigs that’s developed by Austin-based startup Bigfoot Networks.

The computer maker will offer Bigfoot’s Killer NIC K1 card, which is designed to enhance online gaming. Gamers can add the card as a $149 option on Dell XPS 730 and 630 gaming desktops.

Dell also will start selling a special edition XPS online gaming PC, a version of the XPS 630 that’s designed specifically for online games. That model will start at $1,199.

Bigfoot designs network hardware and software that reduces the lag and latency that often comes with online games.
