This isn't true, the reason you buy specialized hardware are for the supportable 'sessions'. Normal NICs don't support a lot of sessions, but specialized hardware can support 25,000 on up to a million sessions (hypothetically speaking of course, I don't know exact numbers but I know its A LOT). Not to mention that you get alot more overhead on a basic NIC using a CISC platform.
