Cat5 runs just as fast as cat6 if you do it right.

I was thinking of going with the i3? As that was my old CPU. You guys would suggest AMD over that?

I'll take AMD A8-3850+iGPU over Intel i3+iGPU any night and day!

I don't think that Beer is debating which cat run faster. He simply said, you give the wireless a try first. If you don't like wireless performance, you can opt for any cat of your choice! Smile

And how can what you say be true? How can there be 10+ circuit breakers for different parts of one circuit?

I realize this is OT now, but I want to understand what you mean...

So you don't like my example, okay. But you still didn't answer my questions. I see circuit breaker boxes in houses, and it seems to me that's one breaker per circuit, thus multiple circuits.

Yes .... why go cat5 when you can go cat6...... we are redoing all the network where I work to category 6 ..... i mean you can go cat5e.... it will do the same as cat6.... but to just have a piece of mind just do cat6 is not as expensive as it used to be.

cat6 ftw!

With current tech, this may often be true. However, if you're going to the effort to lay fresh cable, it's not worth pinching pennies by choosing Cat5 over Cat6--if it slows you down or causes bit errors on your Gigabit LAN, of if you might want to use 10GigE someday, etc.

EDIT: drat, beaten!

Regardless of how many smaller circuit breakers are in the electrical box of a single family home, it is still connected to the same main breaker of the house. The smaller breakers are there to protect each section of the house individually. You can place the powerline adapters anywhere in the same house it still work. Smile

The place I am shopping from doesn't have the one that you mentioned. But they did have these two.

You guys would recommend going with iGPU over a discrete GPU card?
