Is there a 2011 winner for N dual-band WiFi router?

I just picked up the Apple Airport Extreme Gen 5 after considering the E4200 and WNDR4500. Stability and longevity are what sold me. My WRT54GS Ver 1 couldn't quite handle the Docsis 3 modem trying to stuff 36mbps into a 33mbps max Wan port. I could run the thing for months without a reboot...

Is Pabst Blue Ribbon an el cheapo brew in the States?

Pabst is the KING. The big breweries have done their best to knock it off the shelves and label it the "old man's beer" etc., but beeradvocate.com ratings say it all. It is far better than any of the over-advertised swill known as Bud or Coors. Most people that trash talk it haven't even had...

Are some routers better at handling torrents?

WRT54G and WRT54GS handle torrents with ease. Make sure you get one that is Version 1 through 4, not a brand new Version 5 (doesn't use linux). To figure out how to see what version they are, www.sveasoft.com has the info you need.

new Audigy 4 doesn't seem any better than my old SB Live!

Which Audigy 4 did you get? The new, cheaper one you can find at Best Buy... or the original Audigy 4 Pro with the breakout box? I immediately saw an improvement in my Audigy 4 Pro over my older Hercules Game Theater XP (same DAC as the well liked Turtle Beach Santa Cruz).

You can grab it on Amazon also for a lower price than that. Their price fluctuates, but it seems it was around $43.99 last week.

Which sennheiser headset?

I have both the HD580 headphones and the PC150 headset. For $38 shipped from Amazon, the PC150 is clearly the winner. If you are not planning on spending over $80, you won't find anything better for the dual purpose headset/music use. The HD580/600/650 are all awesome, but the PC150 is very...

How does Crucial's RMA process work?

I've always bought my stuff directly from them so they have my info in their database when I call. I've RMA'd 3 times with them and it usually goes like this: Talk to a tech for 2 minutes "yeah my ram is bad - the system won't boot with this stick installed and runs fine with the other one"...

any possible way of cutting the cost down?

I would do the Epox 9NPA+ Ultra mb, Fortron Source 500 watt blue storm, and EVGA 7800GTX. That PS will easily run what you're looking to do.

It is common knowledge amongst those hardcore in the know that 7200.8 is the best. 133gb/platter size makes it run cool and quiet while giving monsterous sustained transfer rate.

is not running a divider better?

A divider won't matter. I am running the OCZ Platinum @ 166 divider and it's doing 204mhz while my 3000+ is 2250mhz ... so 450mhz over stock and I still have tight ram timings which is mostly what the A64 architecture cares about. The system is rock solid and cool at this speed.

AHH! I cannot decide which MOBO!

My evga 7800GTX squashes down on the primary IDE slot and you'd have to use a really slim fitting ribbon cable to make it work - the supplied round cables Epox gives you with the mobo wouldn't come close. Luckily I only need 1 IDE slot because I'm all sata hard drives now.

75hz on an LCD is not comparable to a CRT. The LCD doesn't constatntly redraw the screen image from corner to corner like a CRT, hence the flickering at lower refresh rates on a CRT. The LCD's image is a constantly, uniform display with only individual pixels changing as needed, hence the...
