When I run it, it goes fast (0.5 MB/s upload), but eventually the router stops responding.
Is there a good connection limit I should use, or another modem/router that is available for this?

It's a 4BR apartment on the 27th floor of a building across the street from Lincoln Center. My best guess is that it's at least 3,000 square feet. He's a single guy, so it's a lot of space if you ask me. It's pretty freaking awesome though. Very jealous.

I looked into hacking my GPU's fan speed and have seen splendid results.
It has been idling around 80 degrees C which is pretty close to the thresthold of 85-90 that's recommended tops. That's with the fan idling at 23 % on default. Some cards have higher defaults but my Visiontek is 23%.
Using this link: http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/showthread.php?t=296594&highlight=4850+fan+fix
I bumped up my fan speed to 35% and the temperatures started dropping immediately. It's been 7 minutes and it's dropped below 60 degrees C and continuing to fall. I think it'll bottom out at around 55 based one other people's posts. I may bump it it up to 38% or 40% to get it to idle below 50 C. The downside is it'll get louder but at 35% I can barely hear it.

I've been using version 2.something for a long while and a neat feature was that if FF crashed or got terminated by my shutting down Windows, there was an option to restore last session when I started it after that.
Now Firefox tricked me into upgrading to 3 and now I can't find that feature anywhere! Was it removed?
HALP!

If you don't have the game, or need to rebuy it you can get it from Amazon by the link below. Also by using this link you will toss a few bucks my way to help support the wiki/blog project.
I will probably capture one of our shack battles for a Forza 2 gameplay video for the blog.
