Here's the problem.
I recently got enough parts to get two pcs going and get them both on WoW - One for me, one for my wife.
Now - when I try to log both characters in at the same time, the pc with the WIRELESS connection lags out - everytime it enterers the world.
Any ideas?
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum :(

Over the past week I have had some hardcore pc problems.
Problems in order:
1) Tried to power up pc one afternoon, and it sounded like the hd just kept *trying* to spin. That's the best way I can explain it.

My buddy just got a amd 64 bit proc, a new mobo MSI K8N platinum board.
He has a 9800 pro, 1 gig of ram.
Now, ever since he bought the 64 proc, and the mobo his gameplay would "Freeze" up on him. The whole pc would freeze up, it's odd, it would then resume it's normal status after 5-8...
Pretty much my only complaint so far (Only been installed for 2 hours) is that I lose connection sometimes, but then it regains after a few seconds. The only reason I Notice this is because I Play COD online and I CI sometimes.
Is there a known fix for this? Or is this router out-dated?
Just picked this card up lastnight (Stores didnt have the ati 9800 pro in)
Is there even much of a difference between the two cards?
Anyone have any BAD views on this card? Thanks in Advance.
Just so I dont buy something thats not the right card, Can someone clarify this for me.

Hope I spelled that right :)
In my bios settings, I can switch it from 64 - 128 - 256
The card I'm currently running is 128. For the longest time it was on 64. I switched it to 128 and it seems like it runs smoother (In games)
Or am I stupid, and should change it back?
TIA
If this question has been addressed before, Forgive me.
I used the search function, no luck :(
