    Will DD-WRT fix dropped connectivity every 2 days on my WRT54G?

    DD-WRT fixed my WRT54GS wireless router, i was rebooting it almost daily. You need to check the verson # on the router if using DD-WRT, V5 and up require a striped down firmware because of less available memory on the newer routers. It will also give you many more options to fine tune your network

    Overclocking E6600 - confused

    Actually, your current memory should be fine. Just get a good board and power supply that has been stated in the above posts. At 3 ghz your memory will be running at rated speed (667) with an E6600. I've played with 3 or 4 E6600's and all did 3.2 ghz. 3.0 ghz with stock cooler should be very...

    pIII mobile compatability

    The stepping and cpu id string are different, so it could be a bios problem. also the 850 has speedstep technology, and the 500 does not. Make sure you have the latest bios, it can help if there is updated cpu code included with it.
