What does AP in the Asus mobos' name stand for?
I've got 2x1GB Crucial Ballistix 6400s, and will get either the E6750 or E6850 1333 C2D cpu. I have a couple cat5e cables running around the house, hooked up to the same router that this, my main pooter will be using. I may also need to buy and configure a pooter with a wireless ethernet card for elswewhere in the same house for where those two wires aren't, probly if I don't want to re-run those freakin' cat5es again. I really do not know what else I will need to do this. i.e I really don't know what I have now, what I don't have to buy or what I do have to buy to do this. Can anyone point me to a link of the type of pci card for an older pooter I would need. Preferably at futureshop, bestbuy, circuit city, etc., avail. in Toronto. Besides the main pooter working from the (only) router, I will likely want to have the other pooters in the house both on that same router AND also the wireless one , if i understand correctly to the main pooter AND I have read something about the throughput limitations of 802.11g/b due to this or that. What gives? I will have a full speed main pooter internet throughput right (since this is a wireless mobo model, but will be plugged into a wire), this isn't gonna limit itselfs throughput?
I will probly be buying a 8800GT 512 vid card, which I understand is a pciE version 2.0. Is this compatible with any, incl. all but the almost new this week, mobos? What will people do? What should I do? The power of the vid card is compatible, according to a review I read (75W through bus, extra connector), but isn't this mobo pciE bus lspec. ess than the max throughput of the vid card bus? Is that reasonable, possible? Am I gonna lose a lot of potential? I am not a hardccore gamer, but will want to play as best as I can. How is this combo of vid card/mobo? It'll be a couple months until I buy the vid card. If I really should I guess I could exchange the mobo, but don't really want to spend more time reviewing or cash (on X38 or whatever its called), but now would be the time, if necc.
So, 3 points:
1)2nd pooter wireless internet hardware req'd
2)main (& other) internet connection max throughput speed
3)vid card/mobo bus throughput spec. speed dilema?
4) "AP" is?
