so Bigfoot networks uh besides releasing a new killer Nick over the last couple
days also released an update to the killer Zeno Pro so they've given their
whole new software suite to uh existing
Zeno Pro users and I just wanted to take a quick look at uh what they've enabled
on the Zeno Pro so you can see that it's
uh it's got a far more complicated console now and okay we've got a PC
monitor where it shows me the uh I yeah
I can view any number of things I can view pings I can view how how much of my
processor is being used so right now I'm actually rendering video so it's pegged
at around 40 45% which is because uh
Windows Live Movie Maker can only use up to I believe it's four threads and this
is a 12 thread CPU uh I can see how much
of my networking processing unit is being used right now very very little I
can also check my internet bandwidth regular and offloaded bandwidth um
whatever that means I am not entirely
sure okay I can see my current system memory usage which is pegged at about
30% and then I can see my current frames per second which would only be valid if
you're doing something that actually measures frames per second in this case
probably rendering video yeah you can see I got fraps going there as well okay
and then what else do we got ping okay we already showed that okay uh I'll get
to that one after then we've got uh Network so you can manually set the
stats for your network uh in this case you're having trouble seeing it because
those boxes are Whited out and my camera's being stupid let's see if it'll
focus for me here come on you can do it
you can do it I wonder if it'll let me manually adjust the exposure here bear
with me I'm sorry about this yeah there we go okay there okay so there we go so
uh I've set it to 40 kilobytes per second uh upload and uh 1,800 kilobytes
per second download so you can actually this is kind of cool because
uh by default it was set so that you had to do it in bits and I was like yeah I
don't really know what my connection is in bits so if you go into advaned you
can actually set all of the bandwidth units as well as uh you can enable or
disable things like the LED glow on the card uh the default priority for
applications and then this this is the cool one okay so this feature is a
lifesaver for me because I have more than one PC on the home network and
whenever I upload YouTube videos so I'm I'm uh re-encoding one right now and I'm
also uploading another one about my cats whenever I upload YouTube videos it just
kills my network and I'm too much of a network Noob to uh figure out how to set
up quality of service on my router so here's what I've done instead I can use
this application to manually set how
much upload bandwidth I want to uh
Firefox to have access to so I can just drag this slider one way or another and
I can say okay uh Max up to 25 kilobytes
per second Max up to 30 kilobytes per second which is kind of a happy medium
it gives me a decent upload speed and it also makes it so that all the other
computers on my network don't have uh that really really slow speed that you
get when you have your upload completely saturated so that's pretty cool and then
you can set all of your other applications in terms of um I believe
you can set priority as well yeah so there you've got your priority settings
here you've got uh whatever allow and block is oh yeah I guess you can block
and allow it and then you can set how much bandwidth they have access to very
cool feature and I'll also be having a look at the new killer 2100 as well in
the next little while so uh look forward to that but in the meantime all Xeno Pro
owners do have access to this new application very very cool
