 Yeah, but some of the other routers seem to offer much higher
 performance in this area.  Backups aren't the only thing...moving files
 and share files are other good reasons to have a cheap USB drive on the
 router.

 It's more of a handy thing other than anything.

 If you're serious about backups, a NAS would be more proper.

 Duncan,

 At lot of the dual-band wirless N routers have a usb port of them for

 really


 slow for file transfers even on a 1Gbit network (which you'd have if


 you


 have it). So, that's the one of two negatives about this router.


 Still, I'm


 going to get it as they all have pros and cons.

 What do you mean by, Too bad the storage is so slow, though. ??
 If your current router is only capable of 10/100, then your current


 LAN is


 only capable of 10/100. Even with G-Bit cards installed in devices.
 I think, anyway.

 Your speeds will only be as fast as the slowest link in the chain.


 If I

Wired is the best option if you can make it happen for all needs. But wifi 
works great for lots of applications.

Is it fair for me to NOW believe that the majority of this LIST is now 
actively using WIFI for their internal home LANs?

No. I do not wish to start a firestorm with those that use both!
The basic question is about the use of WIFI... :)

(Are there many of us old fools still using only wired CAT5/6 LANs?)

Just wondering?
Best,

Subject: [H] Bioshock

I picked up Bioshock last month on one of those games for 5 dollars 
deals. I installed it in Win 7 64 bit and started playing it but 
after a while it just didn't feel that smooth. My hardware is a Q9650 
with 8 GB of RAM, Velociraptor, and two 4970s in Win 7 PRO ... but 
not running crossfire. I didn't need crossfire as I could run at 2560 
X 1600 on my 30 inch monitor and it installed with all ,maxed on the graphics.

I thought maybe it is a compatibility issue. So I booted (dual boot) 
into my previous Vista 64 which I had stripped down to basics... no 
av, no firewall, no nothing running, and this time crossfire 
enabled.  This did feel better but eventually, as I progressed 
through the game I started getting video artifacts = red stars 
appearing during game play, in large numbers, and then locks, and 
crashes and a inability to remember my keyboard settings.

I tried the latest ATI drivers, a reinstall of the game (there is no 
patch), and then tried booting back to win7 to see if I experienced 
the same thing.. and I did. So is this just a XP32 sort of game or is 
there something I can do to continue?

thanks

Subject: [H] memtest86+: How long?

It's been running now for 8 hours, 26 minutes, 5 passes, no errors.

Is there really any point in letting this run more?  It's testing 8 GB 
of ram, those these runs take forever.  I can't image it would suddenly 
uncover some bad ram.

I never would have run this in the first place, but I did have one stick 
that was bad.  Prime96 and OCCT would uncover the bad ram 
immediately...it just took a bit of testing to isolate which stick was 
bad.  Once I found it and get a replacement stick, they then gave no 
further errors.  Now, after 8.5+ hours of memtest, I think this is ram 
should be blessed as ok.

Right?
