1: Probably nothing but wouldn't recommend it.

2: Its the architecture of it. not exactly sure but I know the Core 2 Duo is much better!

3: No it won't harm it at all. Its perfectly safe

4: No it won't because it won't know cause it can't get a network signal back so it just displays no connection it has to be plugged into both ends.

5-7 will take research for sometime will try when I not @ work.

8: can't help with I live in South Africa, check in Indian PC sites.
