lol this is probably your third post about this
i don't know what clarkconnect is but i can tell you about the specs.
Depending on the operating system (i'll assume you take xp for now).
router pc
Something basic should suffice.
- single 1.6 ghz should be fine.
- 1 gb memory
- dual 1gb nic (possibly a modem card, depends on what your setup)
- single hdd
nothing fancy.
Game pc
- Something in the line of an 2ghz c2d and 2gb memory should be fine.
- i would take 2 separate hard drives (1 for os, 1 for game files). The one with the game files preferably 10.000 rpm or faster. which makes sure you've loaded the game files faster than the guests you have.
- a motherboard with a gbit network or with an added gbit pci nic.
- ram is your choice i'd go for ddr 2 800mhz, 2gb should be fine.
just 2 other things about the pc.
- if you're planning on adding alot of bots which all use AI which in turn uses loads of cpu time you should take a faster processor.
- if you're planning on running more games at the same time i'd upgrade the cpu as well as the memory.

this one is very very sturdy. Never had any problems with netgear whatsoever myself
