Means I just as usual connect my broad band with usb port..then insert this usb dongle on another usb port viola! I can get my connectify work? Thanks..

That was your own internet from broadband. If you have at home/work a ADSL/Fiber Optic modem+wifi+router, an USB wifi dongle or pci wifi card can receive connection from modem above. But not your broadband usb dongle that have sim slot-in IINM.

Thanks for the helpful picture!

so i just need for example "Router mr3420" like shown in the middle of the picture?

use lan cable to connect the router to my rig then my computer can enjoy the broadband, meanwhile other laptop will receive wifi from the router, is that right?

thanks! notworthy.gif

Or if you don't want use/see cable, wifi USB dongle or PCI wifi module. or this

Its that boot-able, try repair your window by booting through USB. With luck, you don't need to install new OS.

Yeah, he means your Sapphire "normal" HD7950(since there are no "OC" suffix in its name). Or did normal version come with dual x cooler?

You can pick i5 but you will need to downgrade few item. B75 and H77 link. IPS give user more vivid colour & wide viewing angle.

Nothing, except if you can find upper level LGA 1156 processor. Effect of bottleneck i think quite significant on your current processor.
