If you go wireless, you will need a wireless network card for your computer, cheapos run about $20-$30 USD, and will work fine within 3 rooms distance.

just make sure you lock down the network if you go wireless, otherwise you can get hacked by someone just driving by tour house w/ a laptop & wireless connection. happens much more than you think.

The connection works both ways...anyone that hacks my wireless gets a hard drive full of 2 girls 1 cup.

Also, AMD is much better for over clocking...and priced much lower for the performance. I just got an Athlon 6400 X2 (Fastest Athlon on the market that's not an FX) and have it running a %6 OC stably using no extra case fans (Waiting on my new case to arrive) and I only paid $150 for the chip.

[Edit] Also, Dan I have no clue who the Hell you are but appreciate that respect anyway. Rock on Danny boy.

When you were around, I was either Giant-Douchebag or Mr.RuthMN-Dustoid4

Say the word and tech mod is yours, you > everyone else here combined.

Well he is interested in saving money so a wired setup would be cheaper and less of a hassle. Also I'm pretty sure an E2160, E4400,and E4600 all clock better than the 6400 you just got for less of a price. (not having a pissing contest with a Legend, just know the stats benchmark higher)

As for AMD the newer 5000+ black chipset has unlocked multiplier therefore more of an OC than the 6400.

What Motherboard do you use??

The 6400 uses the black chipset and I use an Asus M2N series board (Can't remember the model number but it's the one capable of running fan less).
