I was in the same boat, mines due in a week and I started looking about a month ago. My guess is they don't expire and you just use it to renew, I don't know if you can "stack" them and put say 2 in at once for 2 years but I haven't tried - send Pandora support an email and ask if gift cards can...
the first thing I see is that you may be actually running 2 routers, the cable modem serves as a router and DHCP's out an IP address when something's plugged into it and the wireless access point is probably also running a DHCP server dishing out addresses to the wireless clients. If they're...
one thing I've found helpful is cleaning the MAF - on toyota's is easy to take out (1 or 2 screws), spray it off with yes... MAF cleaner, same type of can but it's different than carb cleaner and made just for electronics. I do mine when I change the air filter, takes less than 5 minutes
+1 on high mileage oil, and it'll probably help it not use oil like it is now, if it can make it between oil changes without an additional qt add it'd be well worth it

agree - I went with a "real" controller - LSI 9260. It was a huge improvement over the Intel onboard. If you're on a budget like me, check ebay - there's usually 9240's and 9260's at decent prices
or if your MB supports it you can implement Intel Smart Response, it kinda merges the 2 together in a hybrid - the Intel site has an overview (and details)
mATX is def not hotter, I like them better (or even an itx) because I don't have a need for all those extra PCIe slots, I've never run more than 2 cards now that most everything is built in like LAn/Sound/etc
I've had no problems with Gigabyte boards, ASUS not so lucky.
Also, if you ever had a thought about running a Hackintosh on it Gigabytes have a big following, ASUS not so much
