I recently upgraded an asus P4S800D-X socket 478 mobo with a 3.0ghz processor. I had issues and had rma'ed the mobo. When I installed the cpu in the rma, it wouldn't boot.

I'm not a big AMD guy, rarely used them but my understanding right now is that price/performance the AMD64X2's are probably the most bang for the buck. Every review I've read suggests the Intel Core 2 Duo outperforms the AMD's but are still higher priced so you'll pay a premium for that extra bit of...

The MIMO boxes pretty much take out any holes you might have in your coverage, giving you a better signal quality over a wider area than the normal WRT54G.
