Don’t try to mod them, your chances of success are minimal. The heat pipes are depressurized and have a vary small amount of water in them. If the heat pipe is cracked, it will not longer work.

It uses two 512MB 400MHz standard notebook SODIMM modules. I would recommend upgrading to 2GB and turning memory paging off for improved performance for your application.

I would suggest you look into the Olympus FE-310. It's 8MP and has 5X optical zoom. I've seen it on sale for $90. But $110 or so it typical. 1GB SD is <$10.

I use Probe II under Vista 64 without issue. Have you tried launching it via "run as administrator"?

I would try changing to channel 1 or 11 on your wireless router.

I suggest you look into a nice G31 MB like this one.

Could be the WiFi receiver H/W has failed.

Of the three, the A-DATA is best value. However for raw performance, suggest you look into the Memina Rocket.

The issue may be in the IP stack rather than ethernet. For fun, on the desktop strart > run > cmd > ipconfig /release and then ipconfig /renew and then rerun the line quality test.

I purchased my P5Q-Pro when it was launched so I'm pretty sure it was not a return. My static bag was not sealed but I didn't notice any finger prints or residue on the MB. Were your cd's sealed in their envelopes?

Actual 30MBs on the write will be tough. I own a Memina Rocket which is very fast. But suggest you also look into the Corsair Flash Survivor GT and the Patriot Extreme Xporter XT Boost.
