So in about 2 and a half months my housemate will be moving out...Wooohoo!
But that will leave me only with my monitor my mouse and my laptop... :(
Soon as i got this Vista crap off here and put good ol XP on was wondering if its good enough to run UT2004 without to much effort...I already play on low settings on a powerfull desktop so im not botherd about that.

Here is its specs

Compaq nx8220
Intel M processor 1.73ghz
1279MB DDR2
ATI Mobility x600

Not bad for

i'll look when i get home, google! Its something to do with the auto channel scanning of the wifi, eg even if your connected to say channel 1 then it still sits there scanning up to chan 11 or something evey 30 secs ish.
A good strong signal also helps. Wired will always be better. :)

Well i have full signal anywhere in my house, its a pretty decent router i think and want to keep it wire free so i can be anywhere.

THE best gaming routers bar none, they are the the best i have ever used, and ive used about 8 different routers.

Gamerlounge routers give game traffic the highest priority and send those packets FIRST, and dont restrict bandwidth.

THE BEST i dont care what anyone says, end of freekin story :D
