How do you get a local network game to work through a router with computers?

Q. Specifically the game warcraft III.

A. You need to have the software on each computer.

You need to add the software to your firewall's exceptions list.

One computer on your LAN will need to be the "Host"

There are some ports that need to be configured as well.

Here's some links that should help...

Original Question

What is the maximum amount of RAM you can have in a PC at this moment in time?

Q. I have only 1GB in my computer which is almost 2 years old. But I've heard of some computers that have HUGE amounts of memory.
Also, what's the maximum processor that's available? (I only have Dual Core 1.8GHz haha, and I play online games)

A. Unless your motherboard is junk, your dual core Intel E series cpu will address 4GB under 32 bit Windows. A 64 bit build will address 12 GB in dual channel mode. However, your question was, "What is the maximum amount of RAM you can have in a PC at this moment in time?". The answer to that is in excess of 40 GB depending upon the setup. In a PC running Linux, the bios does not determine maximum memory. It is strictly a hardware issue. Mac OS X, which is a form of Debian Linux will use all of the memory you can throw at it. I have 32 GB in my 8 core Mac Pro. I have a Linux machine using a $75.00 motherboard, a 2.2ghz dual core & 16 GB ram. Gaming is phenomenal on this machine.
One last thing to remember: if you have a frame buffering AGP video card, especially a small one, your system RAM is going to take a huge hit. Fire up one of those online games, and open your system monitor. See how much FREE memory you have. You may need a vid card, and not more system memory. Cheers!
