    Help me convince my parents my router is complete **** and a waste of money.

    You can try pinging your router for a few hours or a day and see if it drops your connection and for how long.
    In the Command Prompt(Win+R>cmd) type something like "ping -t 192.1681.1"; if you don't know your router IP type "ipconfig" in Command Prompt, and it usually your Default Gateway(192.168.1.1 in my case).  Press Control+C to terminate the ping test and get the results; dropped packets are a bad sign.


    Alternatively, you can run a trace route in Command Prompt, "tracert taleworlds.com" to see if there are any unusually high pings between you and your destination IP.

    Banana goat and graphics card

    Are there any unknown devices in device manager?  You might be missing your chipset driver; try the drivers from Asus support website if you haven't already.

    Looking for a good word-processing program

    LibreOffice is a sort of open-source MS Office clone, or is that akin to suggesting Word  :shock:


    docs.google.com is in that same vain, except it's browser/account/gmail based.

    What's the benefit of the dual channel memory feature?
    This is from Intel's website:  Single- and multi-channel memory modes


    The difference may be imperceivable.  It'll mostly make a difference in CPU intensive tasks; benchmarking or video editing for example.

    Looks like the i5-3350P is back in stock.


    I suggested a Fractal Design case earlier in the thread but it's micro-ATX form-factor.  Gigabyte GA-B75M-d3h is a m-ATX board that has a similar feature set as the ATX board you listed, for a tiny bit cheaper.


    Looks like you opted for cheaper RAM.  I would suggest a kit instead of a single stick, in order to utilize dual channel memory feature, which would require populating two DIMMs:  CRUCIAL BALLISTIX 4GB DDR3 PC3-10600 CL7 KIT OF 2

    You can offset or even exceed any performance difference by also upgrading the graphics cards.
    such as:
    MSI GF GTX660 2GB GDDR5 PCIE N660-2GD5/OC

    You can't offset a processor bottleneck with a more powerful GPU.


    Most games will respond better to a GPU upgrade vice a CPU upgrade.

    I recommend against i3 for games, they're dual-cores with hyperthreading. That's half the practical cores.

    Problem with computer freezing for a couple of seconds. New computer.

    Check that your SSD has the latest firmware.


    edit; changing firmware will likely invalidate all your data.
