Wireless bridge

A wireless switch? Such as another WRT54G? So I move the WRT54G to the computer room and plug all the machines in, then plug the modem into the WET54G? Will the WET54G only connect my router and none of the other in range? Is a 1 connection device, not a wireless switch, that will allow...

New System: Build my own vs prebuilt

My feelings exactly... except... what would you do differently? Given my needs? Is there any point to anything but on board video at this stage? Is there any real performance dif between UIDE and SATA? Don't know the memory buffer on the HD... so that may be a loss... what else? I am...

New System: Build my own vs prebuilt

There does appear to be physical room for a PCIe card. Why would I need a bigger power supply for more mem and a video card? It not like I am going to put a $800 SLI setup into a $500 machine.

Problem with ALI 5271 USB/1394 card

9800 Pro vs 9800NP

I bought a 9800Pro from another forum member ($130 shipped), he sent me a 9800 NP. I think it was an honest mistake, it is visually identical to other 9800 pros I have been looking at, I thought I was doing something wrong at first. He is offering a $40 refund if i keep the card or a full...

Hop in the way back machine... ASUS P55T2P4

according to KALLE "All K6-II faster than 350 have the CXT core." EDIT: Thinking about the 2x75 setting suggestion. I'll give it a try, but I am not sure that the bus frequency should matter unless you are overclocking, by underclocking at a rate i know the system can handle I should be...
