Wate, the WRT54G is the standird G router from linksys, but I was under the impression that the GS is the speedboost.

It is a speedboost router... but speedboost is not what makes it work so well. Hacking the BIOS and bumping up the TX is what does that. (along with a few other choice settings not available in the factory Linksys BIOS)

Well the rest I knew, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going crazy, and screwing up product numbers.

That's ok, at least I'm not too worried about the product now, I dislike buying new products without a lot of research and info on them, I got it because I was in a hurry and users on a major VOIP forum seem to be recommending it over most other brands, but in my experience, you can't always trust popular opinion.

But I trust you guys so great !

Is it that you can't even get to a website after running FS9 .. like, even after FS9 is closed you still cannot connect .. (as opposed to minimizing FS9 while it's flying.. and trying to look at a website).. or .. after a period of multi-player time, FS9 just loses its multi-player connection ?

If it's the second thing.. I'd say that the 2-3 second lag (50,000 mile round trip to the satellite) is causing a MP session time-out. and maybe your resource shortage rears it's ugly head at that time.

Lol, I shouldn't ithor, but they make me too much money

@ PlutonianEmpire: As a general rule, never buy upgrade parts from an OEM. Find out what you need from the OEM, then go to www.newegg.com to get the RAM you need, at what you payed for one stick.

In other words, Dell is ripping you off by selling you ram at double the price when they should have had it on the machine to begin with. And that's just ............. nevermind, I don't do this anymore  :P
