Yes, completely forgot about that. I don't know if this is what you meant but you can get homeplugs which have a through socket so you don't lose a socket if that makes sense. Will post an example when I find one.

It's likely the homeplugs will work ok from an extension,
so long as the cable isn't too long.

I'd say the cable is around 1m

How many sockets are there coming of the cable?

Member Resting in Peace
I cant guarantee it but I'd say that would be ok,
as long as it's not a surge adaptor extension your talking about.
I wouldn't have a clue about that
but by any chance do you know what kind of homeplugs do PCS sell and how come it removes the LAN option once you select the homeplugs?

It doesn't remove the LAN option. The LAN option is just what comes on the mobo. It is the Ethernet socket. That is standard and can't be removed. The homeplugs come on top.
Oh ok that makes sense
thanks...
I feel so dumb right now :s
i swear having 3 hours of sleep a day is bad

I meant a surge protection adaptor,homeplugs wont work with these.
You will still have the ethernet port as standard.
You can see the homeplugs by clicking on the small help icon on the
right hand side of "network facilities" in the configurator.
Thanks and damn they're not the ones i need
i guess i'll choose the wireless option and see how it goes if it's not sufficient i'll buy homeplugs

It's going fine i've set it on full and holding it like that unless i start gaming
since otherwise it doesn't use up 100% max and does 28% max instead
maybe it's cause my laptop is ultra mega camp but that's just my theory

So it isn't using full cpu power, even with v7 client? What temp is your laptop cpu?
also was downloading beta but my internet was being gay at the time and would do 0.2mb ps
so now trying to download it again
