    Which Wifi ADSL Modem + Router to get? - URGENT

    Right now your modem is the router. In the modem configuration you can set it to Bridged Mode. Then it will only act as a modem to maintain the ADSL Link. The WRT54GL will perform the PPPoE login and stuff.

    Which Wifi ADSL Modem + Router to get? - URGENT

    Put it in bridged mode for best performance, and to actually make use of its routing capabilities. If you don't bridge it then its nothing but a wireless switch/hub. When its bridged there is no load on the modem for things like number of active connections etc.

    Custom firmware, no question about it. DD-WRT is good enough.

    X-Fi Titanium - is it worth it ? and head phones ?

    Getting anything other that the XtremeMusic (PCI) or the Titanium (PCIe) is a waste of money. The XRAM is practically useless and gives no performance improvement in games whether OpenAL uses it or not. If you need the extra optical inputs that come with the higher models for recording or...

    X-Fi Titanium - is it worth it ? and head phones ?

    X-Fi is only useful for games. There is NO ALTERNATIVE to EAX5 in games. Don't believe any bullshit any other cards advertise. You will get proper surround sound with proper environmental effects ONLY with an X-Fi. If you don't game then there are much better cards from other companies.

    Slim ps2 ide hard disk

    If you can get one then good. My Phat PS2's GPU got fried and the screen artifacts like crazy. Videos play like through a mosaic glass window. In Burnout the trees are on the middle of the track.

    If you want something cheaper than Dell, then AOC is OK. It has HDCP support. (Use HDMI to DVI cable).

    Slim ps2 ide hard disk

    Don't bother with USB, half the games don't work and the ones that work are unstable. If you have the earlier Slim versions then you can attach a IDE bay to it. The newer Slims had the IDE solder points completely removed.

    Storage Solutions Comment on my partitioning strategy.

    Ya, and you end up wasting like 3-4GB on each partition because you can't do anything useful with that space. Installing most games and stuff needs 4+ GB so the last few GB wasted on each partition adds up to a lot of wasted space. I just have 3 partitions. C: 100GB (OS) D: 3.9TB (Everything...

    Which Wifi ADSL Modem + Router to get? - URGENT

    I think these guys are trying to get rid of old stock, as not many people specifically ask for the 'L' version. Even the regular WTR54G* whatever you get now costs more that that, and they are severely crippled compared to the WRT54GL.

    Which Wifi ADSL Modem + Router to get? - URGENT

    Dunno, my friend had a small place, so couldn't check the range. Since you are happy with your modem, try to get a WRT54G. These things have massive range and signal quality. Linksys WRT54G series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Just connect it to your modem and you'll have WiFi capability...

    Which Wifi ADSL Modem + Router to get? - URGENT

    The Beetel is only a modem, no WiFi. Are you happy with your current modem? If its stable enough for your purposes, then you can just get a wireless router with good range. Like the WRT54G series with dual antenna. Just connect your existing modem to the router in bridged mode.

    Which Wifi ADSL Modem + Router to get? - URGENT

    I own TWO DG834Gs and they're crap. Signal doesn't propagate more than two rooms away. One of them keeps dropping the Link with my Airtel connection so I swapped them. Not very happy at all. Can't browse at all while torrenting even after limiting maximum connections. Don't have any of these...

    Which Wifi ADSL Modem + Router to get? - URGENT

    I don't own one, but I stayed at my friends place which had one for a couple of days and was torrenting stuff, it seemed stable. WiFi worked pretty decently with two PSPs.
