Wired CAT5e cabling, Linksys wired router/firewall/switch.
Time warner cable/Road Runner

Don't see any mention on the website of port work, but will try tech support.
Thanks
I sent in my RMA for the ram, and still might think about getting a 7600, because its only around 100$, and my 6600 still gets up to 80-84C at times. Also going to grab a new set of fans for it.
I think I'll stay with the system for a little while, and upgrade fully later.

That's pretty hot for anything in your PC to be getting. Even if it's not heat causing the problem, I'd definitely invest in a couple of case fans if I were you.

I doubt you'll notice much of a performance increase in changing to a 7600. I have a 7600GS in one of my computers, and it didn't really provide better performance than my 6600GT which I had in my main PC. That could be something for you to consider.

When I say ADSL, I mean the length of cable from the router to the phone jack. Unless you're actually using cat5 as your phone line (possible, but not standard), it will be a different looking cable.

The coax cable comes straight in from the cable box on the side of the house... literally on the other side of the wall from where my modem is...
2 TVs, and the cable modem.. then a 5ft~ cat5e comes off the cable modem to the linksys. Then a 50ft cat5e comes thru the attic to my comptuer.

The video card ranges from 60C(idle probably 65C depending) to 84C.
The CPU is 39C(idle) to 51C(load)
The case is 30C(idle) to 38C(load)

6600GT to a 7600GS is about the same card
It's an slightly faster/better memory mid-range 6series to a regular mid-range 7series. The 6600GT pulls more power and heats up more. The 7600GS has heat and power saving features, while still maintaining the power of a 6600GT, mostly.


7600GS vs 6600GT


7600GT vs 6600


The 7600 has a bigger pipeline, but the 6600GT drives faster down it's narrower pipeline because of the GDDR3 ram
