Sygate/Networking Hi Sean, I finally got my ip/tp something network working tonight. I'm running three computers off one internet connection with sygate.com (You know about it-so I just put it here so newcomers can see where to go). All my software is compatible and I visually see no difference in download speed. Now I can cancell some internet accounts and phone lines and save some bucks. Thanks for sharing your opinion on overclocking. I am just aware of it and very curious. I need to read more about it and see other people be successful before I would attempt it. Waiting for the published results you mentioned. Its been a rough week upgrading. For networking, I went the most inexpensive route. I bought a Linksys 5 port hub for $50 and SMC nic cards (they were only $20 compared to intel/3com charging $70). I did not pay the extra money to do 100mbps. The 10 mbps networking system is all I need. CompUSA gave knocked some money off these prices as well since I bought it in my new business account. My brother then bought some ATI graphics cards from them and they took off $25 for each card. It never hurts to ask. Also, another thing to keep in mind when flying, when you get your boarding pass ask if you can have a free upgrade to 1st class. Chances are, you'll be presently suprised. My next project will be for InternetJet to install the 10 mbps satelite internet dowload conection. Install is going to cost $200 and will then be $48/month thereafter. They were the prices earlier in the summer. May have changed since then. urjet.net Things are coming along. I may give upgrading a break for awhile to catch some outdoor activities in my spare time. I have not caught enough fish this summer which I really need to do to water my roots. I also have to join ZeusPaul's spirit of doing some home repairs. Regards, S.W.
