Shadowknight wrote "Assuming they are accurate" just to make a point of it, he could just as well have written "even if they were accurate" or something somesuch. Of course he had read what you wrote, so lets all get back on topic instead.

Saying USB wireless is no good is like saying my server can't be good because its not in a Dell rack. Try some of the other USB wireless models before blaming the interface. You need to experiment with AP / client combinations unless you know the charactheristics of all wireless chipsets by memory. ...

Some tips if you have a bootable atapi cd/dvd drive (as most of us do, I would guess) * Using Nero you can easily create a 'boot floppy' with the create bootable cd feature.

If I set it to 9.5*100 at BIOS, I can underclock to 9.5*50 which is COOL, but I cannot clock it back up to 200Mhz. Any ideas??? Hm. My guess would be that it has something to do with the memory speed settings in bios. I'm not sure how the NF7 are about this but with my 8rda+ it only works if I put ...
