I can't see it making a bit of difference. Throughput doesn't really matter for gaming(most people are limited by their ISP here, not their NIC), and most of the latency comes from the wider internet, not your NIC(ping time from my computer to my router is 0.3ms, with a realtek ethernet controller. Not sure where they think they're getting 6ms). There could be an advantage for a NIC that lets you shape your own traffic, giving game data priority over a software update or something, but unless you're saturating your connection, that shouldn't be a big difference either.

it looks like a better tech, but for gaming i don't see why it would make a difference.

You can just buy Intel Gigabit Pro/1000 CT, which is probably the best non-server NIC available.
