Do I really need an ADSL router?
Yeah, pretty much.
Alright folks, let me know what you think. 🙂
So, I'm looking to pick up a new wireless router. Mostly just for browsing, but I definitely need something that can handle online gaming and downloading torrents without falling apart...
Just to keep it brief, what are you guys recommending? Any specific models you've actually had good luck with?
P.S. I’m also open to suggestions for other types of routers if I haven't mentioned them yet.

Alright, I guess I'll go with that one then. Let me just quickly scan through these other graphics cards, though—just want to be absolutely sure there isn't something better out there. LINK
Thanks.
Yeah, I actually did catch a glimpse of that card in your last post. To be honest, I’m a little hesitant about buying stuff through Craigslist—I always have this nagging fear that I'll end up with a paperweight that doesn't even turn on. Anyway, is there any new info regarding $100?
Hey everyone, my graphics card just kicked the bucket, so I'm on the hunt for a replacement.
CPU - Intel Pentium 4 630 3.00 GHZ
RAM - 2.5 GB
Mobo - Abit AA8 duramax (Intel 925X-ICH6R)
PSU - MS 400W ATX P4
Basically, I just need something decent for $100 light tasks—ideally something that can handle older games, maybe Call of Duty 4. I usually stick to 1024x768 since that’s my monitor's resolution, though honestly, it doesn't matter too much because I have a laptop I use for gaming most of the time anyway.
So, I've been looking at the HD4350, $87 then some slightly better options (though I'm not really sure what the actual difference would be?), and the Geforce G210 ($100),
or maybe even a used 8500GT (link)
I'd love to hear your recommendations; feel free to suggest something else entirely. I really don't need anything high-end, especially since I won't be upgrading this whole rig for at least another few years.
One more thing: how much does the fan actually matter? I was factoring that into my decision.
Given what I'm trying to do, does it really make a big difference?
