the best damn wifi router money can buy!

Apple Airport Extreme. Stable. Works. Set and forget. Put your wireless router on a small UPS too to make sure the power it gets is clean. This often helps stability.

Why are Intel CPU's better than AMD's at the same clocks?

Ouch! Low blow. I think it's referred to as "Itanic" in many circles. Intel was going to compete with nVidia and AMD in discrete graphics, and decided against that--maybe because of low margins? But: of course they have a huge share of the graphics market with all the on die/IGP systems...

Why are Intel CPU's better than AMD's at the same clocks?

Hi Barfo, first, I am NOT an EE/cpu designer--far from it, but, from what I remember: Intel's idea with NetBurst aka nutbust was that despite the long pipeline's shortcomings, they would be able to clock these CPUs up to 10Ghz. Soon, it became apparent that 10Ghz would take a lot of watts...
