whats better.
1. A Server Computer with one processor with a High Clock speed or
2. A Server Computer with 2 processors with a low clock speed

Depends what the server is for, but in most cases for a server you would want 2 processors/cores.

Verizon is faster... but very pricey.

Ok so, I got my new router and connected it to my modem and computer, but I can't access my router page. It's a Linksys router so the default gateway should start with 192. Mine is 10.0.1.1. When I try to go to either of these pages in a browser, it doesn't load. Am I doing something wrong? I have noticed a huge speed increase in my internet, though.

Here's my setup:

Wow, I literally almost bricked my Vista/XP dual-boot. How can I forget up when it comes to these things?

Open Command Prompt, Enter the command ipconfig, use the IP next to "Default Gateway" to connect to your router.
Look for the default password/username for the router if you don't know what it is.

You're technically restoring bloatware provided that Dell included a bunch of random stuff with your computer.
