    MBP/Airport won't play nice with wireless router

    Can you access the router's web-based configuration through ethernet? If so, try changing the channel that your wireless is operating on. Verify that SSID broadcasting is enabled.

    Macbook and Netgear Problem?

    There seems to be a lot of people having issues with this router. I would check for any updates to the router, then reset it, and create a new configuration. You can also try creating a new location in your network preferences, and re-entering the required information.

    RAM trouble with a MacBook... of course.

    Apple recommends installing memory in pairs (i.e. 2x1GB), however, OWC reports that unmatched pairs outperform matched pairs with less capacity. So, you should be flying with a 2/1 setup. http://eshop.macsales.com/Reviews/MacBook/Testing/Memory_Benchmarks

    Video/ Ichat help? Please!?

    If you have a specific error #, it may help, but I have found that routers are the most common culprit when dealing with iChat errors.

    Hard Drive going to crash soon?

    What kind of computer do you have? Most hard drive make noises before they die, or Disk Utility finds an error it cannot fix. It'd be easier to figure out what's wrong with the specs of your computer, version of Bootcamp, etc. The BIOs is emulated by Bootcamp, I believe.
