    Dd-wrt

    I am not a tech, nor a computer engineer, but I can get around a computer, and I do know if I flashed my lynksis WRT54G, or not. And, I did not, yet DD-wrt is on the lynksis web page.

    to ACS3 OR NOT TO ASC3

    Since I can't sli my 2 6800gt's, on this new board, i'm forced (ahem) to go to an 8800GTX. My question is (and i don't over clock, the last thing I overclocked was my Seiko watch) the regular 8800gtx, or the acs3, and I will probably sli them down the road. Appreciate any input.
