My Counter-Strike Source clan's servers are in Texas. I live in Washington. Because of this, I get crap ping on my onboard networking.. Would getting a $50 NIC (screw the $200 killer card, though) decrease my ping by even 15? I probably won't go for it even if it does, but if I see a good deal on something, just good to know :P. Thanks.
