I will be picking up a Linksys wrt54g later today. What are good pointers for loading the dd-wrt software, where can I obtain the software, and how do I go about loading it? I am not computer/network illiterate by all means, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

My room mate is HOSING down my internet speeds. We have the Cox 6 Mbps, but with their constant downloading of *stuff* and bunches of *stuff* at a time, it's slowing down my connection to where it literally takes 30 seconds to load up msn.com. I don't want to cut off their connection completely...
I have a netgear usb wireless adapter. Are there any hacks out that will make this usable on the 360. I really don't feel like shelling out the $90+ on Microsoft's wireless adapter...Is microsofts adapter the only one that's compatable with the 360?
Edit: Fixed some grammer, thank you Amped

I have a question, why do you link all of your news articles in the "[H]ard OCP Frontpage News" forum to the [H]ard OCP website? It's pretty irrelevant if you ask me. The news that's typed in the forum is word for word verbatim what is on the [H]ard website. Why should I click a link to have to...
Would anyone know the average power draw of an intel quad core server? Would the navtives that come out in q4 draw marginally less power than the non-native quads that are out at the moment?
EDIT: What I'm looking for mainly is wattage
