My router is configured to use DHCP with local IPs, so when I turn off my computer, I lose the IP I had. When I use port forwarding, it opens the port for the specific computer running the application, rather than the entire network itself. When I try opening the port on the new IP, it cannot...

Just right click the start button, and go to properties. from here, in the Taskbar tab, uncheck the "lock the taskbar" option and hit ok now, drag the start bar to the side of the screen, and from there to the bottom Yes, this is a very very very late response.

I'm getting into these two genres and want to know who the good people are within these genres thanks in advance

As long as the socket on the mobo is the same, it should work fine. AMD doesn't screw you over like Intel does :P

They don't make those non BE, so you're technically not paying more for it :P I would suggest the 965BE out of those two options, as I said earlier.

Yes, clean out the vents, and also get rid of excess bloatware that may be slowing it down. You may need to run a defrag and use CCleaner to clean out some of the things eating up the processor.

Uhm, AM2 =/= AM3. That's about like putting a Mustang engine in a Ford Pinto. It's just not going to work right. Also, that's 800MHz, not 1.6GHz. However, you could always try disabling Cool-n-Quiet in the BIOS.

It all depends on the actual hardware, some can take more overclocking than others, and since this is a laptop, it would be a good guess to say that it can't take much. As for CPU temp, I would say 60-63 is about the limit you should allow. Anything above would start to harm it.

Several versions of 3Dmark, and also a few graphic intensive games and compare framerates. I personally hope the server will win just because I hate how overrated i7s are and how everyone who owns one seems to think it's the greatest thing in the world and can beat any computer ever. I...

I agree with Emperus about the quad core vs. hex core issue. Hex cores are not as developed as quad cores, but in the near future, they will become the norm, much as quad and dual cores have. I have to suggest the Phenom II X4 965 BE, as opposed to Emperus' choice. I have owned both and...

Replace the CD drive, you can get a good one for <$30
